I am not sure about your use case scenario. If you are using libfluidsynth.dll 
with your own program, then you need to create a fluid_settings_t object, and 
assign a value to "midi.winmidi.device" before creating the MIDI driver and the 
synthesizer. Look for documentation and examples here: 
http://fluidsynth.sourceforge.net/api/index.html

If you are using the command line interface client (fluidsynth.exe) then you 
need to assing the setting value in the command line as an argument, not in the 
program shell, because this setting needs to be known before creating the MIDI 
driver and synthesizer. Take care about the number of white spaces. Example:
C:\> fluidsynth.exe -m winmidi -o midi.winmidi.device="In From MIDI Yoke:  2"

But if you don't care about programming, or using the windows command shell, 
then you may want to try Qsynth. This program has a combo box showing a list of 
the MIDI devices detected in the system, and the user can simply choose one of 
them.
