I think FMOD tries to open the "General MIDI collection of DLS instruments" called GM.DLS and fails to do so as Wine doesn't have it. Any ideas on the legal way to install it onto the Wine system?
If you have a Windows license you can just copy it across.
Does anyone knows or can explain the license MS mentions here? Am i allowed to copy the file from any web page or another place?
I guess so but it's like DCOM - only if you have a Windows license.
Or another point: would it be sane to expect the Wine devs to implement simplified/different version of this collection in the future? TIA.
No, definitely not, this sort of thing is like metrically-compatible fonts: they basically need to be donated (or we need to license them/equivalents ourselves from Roland or some other music company somehow).
