Good question! I think we currently have no way to properly terminate
a FluidSynth process started as a server (with -s command-line
switch).

It seems we even have a bug in the handling of the interactive and
socket shell connections. If I start FluidSynth with -s and type
"quit" in the interactive shell, then the program hangs and does not
return to the command prompt. Only after I telnet to 9800 once does
FluidSynth actually exit (and also terminate the telnet session on
port 9800 immediately). But it doesn't clean up the socket properly,
it keeps hanging in TIME_WAIT. There is definitely something not quite
right here.
