I would create a third bug report. Maybe a request for enhancement, because it 
seems that the player would need a new function to handle position set/reset. 
I guess that the notes can be muted by the client program using 
fluid_synth_system_reset(). This same function call can be added 
before/inside fluid_player_play().

I would like to add several more features to the player for:
- getting the number of queued songs in the play list.
- set the current song to a given index.
- delete one song from the play list.
- loop mode (off, only one song, the whole queue, ... ).
- add the player functions to the commands interface.

Comments?
