I'm packaging a Raspberry Pi musical instrument based on FluidSynth. I use
libfluidsynth directly from Python via ctypes and intentionally
create/destroy FluidSynth instances as applications start and stop. The
Debian fluidsynth package installs a user service that starts a persistent
FluidSynth daemon and captures MIDI connections. Is the service intended
primarily as a convenience for desktop users, and is there a recommended
way for an application like mine to coexist with the package while
disabling the daemon?
