First off, I don't think I will be getting around to this type of stuff
for a while. I just wanted to make sure that type of functionality was
possible with FluidSynth before the API is completely frozen :)

I don't really like the connect bunch of objects together with lines
type GUI interfaces, but I haven't fully thought out alternatives. I
like the idea of stacks of effects but that doesn't exactly handle
everything.. I may end up deciding this is best left to other apps. So
many plans for Swami, lots to do.
