This is a common myth. Jack provides low latency routing *between applications*, for instance if you want to use the output of fluidsynth as input of another program like an effects processor or a recording application. But for the simple use case of fluidsynth output to the sound card, there is no advantage over using ALSA directly. > Just use -a alsa as a command-line flag to switch to the ALSA back-end.
