            Bug ID: 51966
           Summary: Autostart fluidsynth
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: es20490446e at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

Many distros keep fluidsynth off by default because it consumes quite some
memory (126MiB), and usually it conflicts with other user sessions (only one
session can run fluidsynth at the same time).

If fluidsynth isn't running Wine could autostart it, so midi music works. Once
Wine is closed, if it was started by Wine, Wine could close it.

A good default configuration for launching it is:
fluidsynth -si -a alsa -m alsa_seq -C no -g 0.5 -L 1 -r 48000 -R yes -z 1024 -o
synth.default-soundfont="[soundfont]"

Where soundfont could be, if present and in this order:
- GeneralUser.sf2 (better more realistic audio)
- FluidR3_GM.sf2 (more frequent)

Under one of these folders, depending on the distro:
/usr/share/soundfonts (fluidsynth default, modern)
/usr/share/sounds/sf2 (debian default, vintage)
