VLC has its own fluidsynth-based plugin. Timidity is a command line application that can also be started as a daemon. You'll need to either start fluidsynth as a daemon to have it provide MIDI devices, or install the timidity-daemon package (which does the same but using timidity). I don't think Ubuntu has some package that would run fluidsynth as a daemon. -- David Kastrup
