Hi,
I have a similar problem, but not using the midi player : using the
internal sequencer. But if my analysis is right, both problems have
the same cause : bursts in requests by the audio driver of audio
data, thus bypassing the midi timer or the sequencer timer, with the
consequence that
I'm fooling around with a Yamaha DD55 midi drum kit and fluidsynth.
Only 20% of the notes seem to make it to audio output, probably
accidentally. This might be the fault of the DD55, since it appears that
noteon and noteoff events are shipped to the PC in a block, with little
or no time in between
