You would use fluid_synth_write_*() to pull synthesized audio from the synth 
and manually clobber that into ALSA, openSLES or whatever you use for playing 
audio. I do not recommend this procedure, for exactly this use-case fluidsynth 
provides audio drivers.

So again, I would welcome any PR or patch that adds openSLES to fluidsynth 
submitted by someone who has tested it (or is able to do so).

Regarding building fluidsynth on andriod: I would appreciate a solution that 
works with cmake, at least the wiki has some info about cross compilation if 
that helps:
https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingWithCMake#cross-compilation

I'm open to any change or addition to fluidsynth's cmake build system that 
would make andriod builds possible or easier. However getting rid of the glib 
dependency and providing a custom implementation of fluid_sys.c is not an 
acceptable solution for upstream.

In every case: If you use fluidsynth for your proprietary [andriod|ios|...] 
app, make sure you respect fluidsynth's LGPL:
