Very interesting, thanks for explaining your use-case. How did you test the converted SF4 files? Did you patch fluidsynth to allow FLAC decompression? Or did you use a different synth? > My conclusion for us: SF3 needs to stay and SF4 could be an option but only > in case if there are good quality SF4 soundfont files available in the > future. It is not about removing ogg support in favour of flac, but rather adding flac as an additional compression choice next to ogg vorbis. So don't worry, SF3 is here to stay.
