Bug#1039449: fluidsynth: High memory usage even if not used
Hi Witold,

I do not know why it autostarts, my guess is that pipewire or something
else starts it, even if it is not needed. (it runs as a normal user,
not
some system user, and there are no init.d script or systemd units for
it
that I can find)
well, it does come with a systemd unit:
/usr/lib/systemd/user/fluidsynth.service
If this service is enabled, fluidsynth acts as a MIDI daemon, i.e. as a
virtual MIDI device.
You may either want to disable this service, or switch to a different
default soundfont with a smaller memory footprint, e.g. the one in the
`timgm6mb-soundfont` package, either by uninstalling all soundfont
packages but this one or by using Debian's `update-alternatives`
mechanism.
Hope that helps!
