That's actually a bit surprising. Good to know.


It would be very nice to have a simple option for setting the volume of

Yes, I would very much welcome such an option in Radium. I do include
fluidsynth
with Radium though, so there's no problem applying a custom patch. But I
imagine
others might find option like this useful as well, so in my opinion it
would make
sense to include in the vanilla FluidSynth as well.
