Hi Steve!
I've never looked at the MIODI-Player of fluidsynth and I've never used it
intensely. But: I think, that fluidsynth's MIDIfile-player was mostly for
smaller jobs or for testing. Fluidsynth is best suited to playing live. For
playback, with soundfonts or GUS-patches, better use TiMidity. Fedora should
have it packaged.
You can easily configure timidity to use a soundfont or more than one.
Timidity also uses much less CPU-power with a couple of channels/sounds
playing simultaneously. Also timidity has a few interface (commandline,
curses, slang, and GUIs of course gtk and lesstif or motif).
Kindest regards
Julien
