[fluid-dev] Fast file renderer

[josh]

Hello David,

I was looking at that bug that I mentioned before, where FluidSynth  
gets stuck in fluid_player_join() when doing fast file render and the  
renderer fails to be created (because of invalid format settings for  
example).  I notice that in fluid_player_join() it waits for  
player->status to not be FLUID_PLAYER_PLAYING, in the case of using  
the sample timer.  This will never happen though, since the player is  
not in a separate thread and therefore is not advancing.  Shouldn't  
fluid_player_join just do nothing in the case of using the sample_timer?


I also wanted to mention some of my recent commits:
- new_fluid_file_renderer() now just takes a synth instance and gets  
all other parameters from the synth->settings object.

- The -o help settings list is now alphabetical in order and shows  
available string options.

- The settings shell command is now also in alphabetical order.

- Added new functions fluid_settings_foreach_alpha,  
fluid_settings_foreach_option_alpha and fluid_settings_option_count.


Do let me know if you think things should be done differently.
