Great!
How can i test this?
I can't start MidiSynth in Haiku, because it seems to be linked against
libnet.so, which isn't there in Haiku. When I create a link called
libnet.so to libnetwork.so it starts, but "Disable Synthesizer" is
greyed out, so I guess it doesn't find the softsynth. The "Midi Out"
meny shows nothing. I have a SoundBlaster Live! card using the emuxki
driver. Is there midi support in that driver?

Where can I find this? And how should I tell the fluidsynth library
which soundfont to use?
Are there any free soundbanks which could be included in Haiku by
default?
