Just write a script to get everything set up how you want (you'll
probably want to use aconnect, jack_connect, and fluidsynth or qsynth).

It'll probably be something like this:

#!/bin/sh
jackstart -R -d alsa &
fluidsynth -m alsa_seq -a jack -j ~/Piano_Soundfont.sf2 &
aconnect 64:0 128:0 &

Once that's all good just put it in your ~/.login, and when you log in
it will automatically just run that stuff.

Have fun,

-DR-
