Hello Marc,

>From what I can see fluid_synth_all_notes_off() is not declared in the
public headers.  Not sure the reason for this, since it does seem like
it could be useful and doesn't really depend on anything specifically
internal to the synthesizer.  I do see a  fluid_synth_system_reset()
declared public, but that is likely not really what you want (turns off
all voices immediately, resets reverb/chorus and controllers).

There are "all notes off" and "all sounds off" MIDI messages, so it may
be possible to inject a MIDI event into the FluidSynth MIDI router to do
the same thing.  I'm not sure off hand the best way to do that, but
perhaps the functions in public header fluidsynth/midi.h might be
usable.

fluid_synth_all_notes_off() should likely be added to the public API
though.

Regards,
        Josh
