I feel so meta now. Good night.
Honestly: I think the XFCE debate is about a subset of a subset of a subset of users.
Bigger or smaller subset of a subset than the fluid-soundfont users? Is fluidsynth in the dvd ? If yes, having soundfounts makes sense. So rebase your question on fluidsynth ;)
There is libfluidsynth1, which is required only by gstreamer-plugins-bad. Now playing midi files via gstreamer -- I'd certainly call this usecase "esoteric" ;-) (And with a reason: You want to eliminate all latencies when playing MIDI, so using some contrived pipe-plugging-framework like gstreamer for it is almost always totally out of question. I had to also get rid of pulseaudio and directly connect the MIDI keyboard to timidity to the soundcard in order to get somewhat bearable latencies. So I'm not pulling my arguments from thin air; I have actually used this stuff).
fluid-soundfont-* is recommended by timidity, but timidity can work without it AFAICT.
I can remember once trying to get sound out of some synth program, can't remember the name and it needed fluid-soundfont-gs and gm to work but I'm very surprised that it's actually on the dvd and my backup desktop XFCE isn't. I can vaguely remember careful planning as to what went on the DVD seems like that's gone out of the window now. How difficult is it to list all the packages sorted by size and go through the large ones to see if they are necessary or not?
