No, you don't have to install jackd - you can use ALSA by adding `-a alsa` to your command line:
fluidsynth -a alsa /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 the-midi-file.mid On Linux, Fluidsynth tries to use JACK by default, but you can specify any of the options in the FluidSettings.xml file <https://www.fluidsynth.org/api/fluidsettings.xml#audio.driver> for audio.driver.
