Thanks a lot for the package.

I think I found a solution to get it working a little bit better?

First, I used the timbre "Clarinet". Result is better than with the
other timbers (SINE + ADSR, Plcuked String, Trombone).

Then, I modified the Exec line in the .desktop file

Exec=DISPLAY=:0.0 theremin & renice -n 19 -p $!

I don't understand why the DISPLAY=:0.0 makes the difference but it
does.
