Public bug reported:

libfliudsynth provides an API to locate the default
soundfonts. Its like below:

ret = fluid_settings_dupstr(settings, "synth.default-soundfont", &sfont);
if (ret == 0 || access(sfont, R_OK) != 0) {
    ret = fluid_synth_sfload(synth, sfont, TRUE);
}

Under ubuntu it returns
/usr/share/soundfonts/default.sf2
but its unclear what package provides this,
if any. At least not fluid-soundfont-gm.

This font path can be specified during fluidsynth
build. The valid one under ubuntu seems to be
/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2
But as this font may not be installed, I would
suggest fluidsynth to check against the pre-defined
list of pathes, and return error if nothing is found.
