Dear Maintainer,

Tried to install Frescobaldi recently leading to a noAudio-dummyOutput 
situation. First thought was that it was coming from my FrankenDebian so I did 
a wipe and fresh install. Everything was okay until I installed Frescobaldi 
again, leading to the same issue.

Tried some workarounds to no avail, the only way was for me to reboot and pray 
that the sound was okay (approx 1/3 probability). Ultimately purged 
Frescobaldi, which, to my surprise, did not solve the issue and led me to think 
it was one of its dependencies. top pointed at a fluidsynth process that I 
couldn't recognize, and found this issue[1] back in 2023.

tl;dr: Frescobaldi recommends and install fluidsynth by default, which 
conflicts with pulseaudio.

I did not install PipeWire as to not fall into a FrankenDebian rabbithole as I 
did in the past, fluidsynth shouldn't be recommended if leading to issues with 
Debian's default pulseaudio.
