[fluid-dev] parallel loading of soundfont samples

[Hamish Moffatt]

While we're on the topic of soundfont loading, is there any possibility 
of speeding it up by using multiple cores?

I'm loading two soundfonts in SF3 (vorbis) format, and they take a few 
seconds each to load. This is now the majority of my app's startup time.

Two things would help; either allow multiple soundfonts to be loaded in 
parallel from the API, or better, have the loader use multiple threads 
to decode the vorbis samples at once.


thanks
