That's probably because the problem is not really my own problem. I'm
writing a library containing some wrappers and other stuff for someone who
is programming in GNU Pascal.

This would be an option...

...and this would be nice too, but because then people who want to use the
software, would have to have such a synthesizer device.

This is something I want to have in the library as well, but I already did
some MIDI stuff. Reading from and writing to a /dev/midi device is all it
takes afaik.
I think iiwusynth will satisfy my wishes.
But, btw, I wanted to run a newer version then 0.0.3, in which I didn't
really succeed. At the link below you can download a lot of newer
versions, but they all said "Failed to create the synthesizer".
