Many distros keep fluidsynth off by default
Never even heard of fluidsynth.
I don't think Wine should be searching for and starting random executables.
...wash your ears :grin:
Seriously though, fluidsynth is one of few linux midi software synthesizers, one of the last that are still alive upstream. It's a bit of a heavy beast, but it's likely hard to write something lightweight that would cover midi synth properly.
On one hand, using it would be making wine start a 'random' executable, on the other without it it's either 'winetricks dmusic' or you need to somehow know what to do when some/all of the music is not being played in the program of your choosing (among other - to know it's midi music) and how exactly to make it work on linux.
