Not possible to generate audio in realtime from fluidsynth, I believe Java could capture the sound source and stream it over vlc player? Another idea Play! Framework using Iteratee might be working for your case with Scala programming language, the framework does support Java too. http://blog.greweb.fr/2012/08/zound-a-playframework-2-audio-streaming-experiment-using-iteratees/ On Nov 3, 2012 1:44 PM, "David Pearah" <pea...@gmail.com> wrote:
