Comment (by jackburton):

 Replying to [comment:36 bonefish]:

 > No, please. In the same way installing a font shouldn't change any
 global setting, installing a sound font shouldn't do that either. If no
 one uses the global system sound font symlink anyway, let's just omit it.
 A per-user setting suffices. If there isn't a user setting yet, just use
 some heuristic to pick one. If we provide TimSoundFont by default with
 Haiku, then try that one first. If it isn't there, use the oldest one, the
 one with the funniest name, or simply first one found in any sound font
 directory. At that point write the setting, so it remains stable until the
 user chooses a new one (or uninstalls the selected one).

 Fine by me, I don't have a strong opinion on that, and it seems
 reasonable, anyway.
