Not sure exactly what you want such a utility function to do? Look for
soundfonts in a set of directories?

The fluid_settings_getstr("synth.default-soundfont") gives you a
filename that you can present to the user as a first soundfont
suggestion - that the user should be able to override, of course.

 From where would fluid_settings_getstr("synth.default-soundfont") get
that default sf2 if the app does not pass it?

It is set to /usr/share/soundfonts/default.sf2 by upstream. Distros can customise this at build time (e g, Debian derivatives put their soundfonts in /usr/share/sounds/sf2/ instead).

And yes, I'd like to get a *list* of sound fonts.

Currently this is just one file, but we could extend it to be, say, a semi-colon separated list of files instead.
