fluidsynth_register_adriver

/*
 * This is a simple C99 program that demonstrates the usage of fluid_audio_driver_register()
 *
 * There are 3 calls to fluid_audio_driver_register(), i.e. 3 iterations:
 * First the alsa driver is registered and created, followed by the jack and portaudio driver.
 *
 * The usual usecase would be to call fluid_audio_driver_register() only once providing the audio drivers needed during fluidsynth usage.
 * If necessary however fluid_audio_driver_register() can be called multiple times as demonstrated here.
 * Therefore the user must make sure to delete all fluid-instances of any kind before making the call to fluid_audio_driver_register().
 * Else the behaviour is undefined and the application is likely to crash.
