Ok, I have pushed this to git. Only the rhythm feedback sounds are
routed thru portaudio. I would like to improve them but I don't think
just switching to synth piano would help much. I am not getting any
problems using fluidsynth and the portaudio routines together - I even
tried acoustic input (via microphone) with output via synth - each note
detected e.g. from a guitar, was sounded as a piano note via fluidsynth!
I don't know whether jack and portaudio would get along so well.
Oh, I should say I typed "alsa" into the preferences under fluidsynth -
we should default to something.  I don't know if this stuff will work
under windows...
