A test case: If you have MidiShare installed, both drivers will be

MidiShare takes priority by default at runtime in this case.
Right, just invoking "fluidsynth -a jack" starts fluidsynth with
MidiShare as the default MIDI driver.
For using CoreMIDI one needs to do something like "fluidsynth -m
coremidi".
On the other hand, qsynth works equally well with both drivers....if
one chooses "coremidi" then quit qsynth then re-launch qsynth, qsynth
starts with coremidi as the MIDI driver. So as you might expect qsynth
memorizes its settings on quitting.
