No matter how many SoundFonts you load, the synthesizer remains just
one synthesizer. So that's why there's only one ALSA MIDI device.

When you load several SoundFonts, the banks and presets of the lastly
loaded file can mask the banks and presets of previously loaded files.
It works like a stack. I guess that's the problem you ran into.
Last I tested, that's how Labs/Creative's SoundFont synth works. Maybe
not ideal, so we'll add an option to change the default behavior.
