Re: [fluid-dev] parallel loading of soundfont samples

[Tom M.]

An idea to parallelize loading would be to use openMP Tasks. I've made a
quick'n dirty implementation of that:

https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/tree/parallelize-sf3-loading

Currently, there are two problems:

1. The samplecache is guarded by a mutex that prevents naïve
parallelization.
2. If we relax that mutex we get a strange race condition, resulting in
various failed sample decodings.
