I didn't want to waste any more time with that whole issue here, but
now I'm really wondering what you're talking about, so here is exactly
what I wrote:

I didn't explicitly admit that my assumption was wrong (simply because
it wasn't wrong).  I was only wrong about the non-default behaviour of
the command line player.  You pointed me to a function which is only
similar to what I was looking for, but which is not appropriate for
me.

I want to *check* if fluidsynth is finished playing a MIDI file, I
don't want to *wait* for it to finish.  Please understand the
difference.

My response was purely technical, I fail to see any signs of
arrogance, insult or personal attack.  I'm not interested in any
non-technical discussion.
