                Sets the realtime scheduling priority of the audio synthesis thread. This includes the synthesis threads created by the synth (in case synth.cpu-cores was greater 1).

On other operating systems the thread priority is set to maximum. Drivers which use this option: alsa, oss and pulseaudio

                Sets the number of synthesis CPU cores. If set to a value greater than 1, additional synthesis threads will be created to do the actual rendering work that is then returned synchronously by the render function. This has the affect of utilizing more of the total CPU for voices or decreasing render times when synthesizing audio.
                So for example, if you set cpu-cores to 4, fluidsynth will attempt to split the synthesis work it needs to do between the client's calling thread and three additional (internal) worker threads. As soon as all threads have done their work, their results are collected and the resulting buffer is returned to the caller.

                Controls whether the synth's public API is protected by a mutex or not. Default is on, turn it off for slightly better performance if you know you're only accessing the synth from one thread only, this could be the case in many embedded use cases for example. Note that libfluidsynth can use many threads by itself (shell is one, midi driver is one, midi player is one etc) so you should usually leave it on.

                When set to 1 (TRUE) the synthesizer will print out information about the received MIDI events to the stdout. This can be helpful for debugging. This setting cannot be changed after the synthesizer has started.
