This package also bundles "VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2" by Ian Wilson as the default soundfont, installed on "/opt/vmpkn9/sf2". The program allows also to select other soundfonts that the user may have downloaded from the Internet, or copied from a PC using an USB cable, or received from a friend's phone via Bluetooth. These files may land on any place below "MyDocs", hence the need of a directory search. BTW. IMO, a default soundfont directory path is less relevant than a default soundfont file. One user told me recently about the QSynth windows package: "How do you think that a casual user needs to learn what is a soundfont, where to get one, and how to configure the program to use it, before trying and deciding if the program is worth or not?". And sadly, I must admit that I agree. > > * fix initialization when the configured soundfont is not found > > Interesting project anyway! Are you using standard ALSA drivers?

I'm using FluidSynth's PulseAudio driver in this project with a period size of 1024 frames, which gives an acceptable latency for this kind of application.
