Oh yes, we have talked about it. AFAIK it began when I proposed the same 
solution a month ago, when the idea was still mine! ;-)

See http://fluidsynth.resonance.org/trac/ticket/1

And to sum it up; I like it mainly for the reasons you like it, Josh 
doesn't like it "since it isn't really the defined behavior for GM/GS 
and the delay would be awkward to get right with different SoundFont files".

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fluid-dev/2009-10/msg00013.html and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fluid-dev/2009-10/msg00018.html
for example.
