Title:
  wrong soundfont path

Status in fluidsynth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in fluidsynth package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  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.
