Abdessamad Derraz 4fe2d14832 docs: profile fluidsynth as emuelec runs it
FluidSynth 2.0.6 (EmuELEC fluidsynth-git, PKG_SHA256 matched) loads
any argument whose header is RIFF sfbk and names no SoundFont.
SC-55.sf2 is named only by emuelec-utils:67 and no EmuELEC package
or script installs or fetches it, so the entry is unsourceable: user
supplied, no canonical file.

notes: |
A SoundFont 2 software synthesizer run as a program. -s starts its TCP
command server and -i turns off the command shell on the terminal.
ref: src/fluidsynth.c:543-544, src/fluidsynth.c:635-637
The program names no SoundFont. Every non-option argument whose header
reads RIFF then sfbk is loaded as a SoundFont, in argument order. An
argument that cannot be opened is skipped with a message and the synth
keeps running with no instrument loaded.
ref: src/fluidsynth.c:764-778, src/sfloader/fluid_sffile.c:335-375
At start it executes one command file: the -f argument, else
$HOME/.fluidsynth, else /etc/fluidsynth.conf. The second name is built
whenever HOME is set, so the system file is read only without HOME.

note: >-
The code opens no file by name and accepts any SoundFont 2 file. The
entry name is a label for the file EmuELEC names on the command line
(EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec/bin/emuelec-utils:67 at v4.8), which
no EmuELEC package installs or downloads.

DEFAULT_SOUNDFONT is ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/soundfonts/default.sf2
outside Windows. It is loaded only when MIDI files are played and no
SoundFont was loaded from the command line.
