I don't use systemd so I cannot test it, however the file used by archlinux is https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/fluidsynth.systemd?h=packages/fluidsynth If the rule "After=sound.target" implies "start fluidsynth after the start of the audio server", it should work. If you want to use a config file for the environment variables, a template/example is https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/fluidsynth.conf?h=packages/fluidsynth so `-a jack' if you use jack and `-m jack' if you use jack midi, etc. fluidsynth -a help fluidsynth -m help > Requested a period size of 64, got 940 instead > [...] > Requested 16 periods, got 8 instead Probably the correct parameters with `-a alsa' (no jack, no pulseaudio, etc) in this case are fluidsynth -is -a alsa -r 48000 -z 1024 -c 8 because I presume 940 is "1024 * 44100 / 48000". If systemd fails (or for other reasons), it is possible to write a simple script where the core is nohup fluidsynth -is -a jack -m jack -r 48000 \ /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 > /dev/null & set/get the settings with netcat, telnet, etc: nc -q1 localhost 9800 <<< settings echo set synth.gain 0.5 > /dev/tcp/localhost/9800 and stop with pkill fluidsynth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
