Hi,

I'm embedding FluidSynth as an instrument in the Radium music editor (http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium).

It works fine (thanks for the great work!), but the memory usage was sometimes shockingly high because fluidsynth reloads entire soundfonts for every new synth, even if the soundfont was already used in a different synth.

Maybe I have misunderstood something, but instead of spending several more hours trying to figure out if I had misunderstood something, I modified fluidsynth to cache already loaded sampledata from soundfonts.

Here's the patch: http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/fluid_defsfont_patch.diff

Please let me know if there's anything that's needed to do in order for you to use it.

I also have a question: Can delete_fluid_defsfont and fluid_defsfont_load_sampledata be called from different threads at the same time? In so, we also need a lock protecting the global list of cached sampledata.
