Can you load a soundfont and MIDI from an abstract bitstream?

Can fluid load a soundfont from a binary array? Same with a MIDI file.
I couldn't find a way in the docs.

It would help fix #1356.

Like this:

rmid_loader_t* rmid;
unsigned char* sfont_binary;
unsigned char* midi_binary;

// extract things from rmid
rmid = load_rmid("test.rmi");
sfont_binary = rmid->get_sfont();
midi_binary = rmid->get_midi();

fluid_settings_t* settings;
fluid_synth_t* synth;
fluid_player_t* player;

// init
settings = new_fluid_settings();
synth = new_fluid_synth(settings);
player = new_fluid_player(synth);

// load the sfont
fluid_synth_sfload_bitstream(synth, sfont_binary, rmid->sfont_len);

// play the midi
fluid_player_add_bitstream(player, midi_binary, rmid->midi_len);
fluid_player_play(player);

MIDI file yes: https://www.fluidsynth.org/api/MIDIPlayerMem.html

SF sort of: https://www.fluidsynth.org/api/fluidsynth_sfload_mem_8c-example.html

What is going on in that sfload_mem???

sprintf(abused_filename, "&%p", pointer_to_sf2_in_mem);

Do we load the pointer as a string and pass that to the sfloader?

EDIT:
I see, we use custom callbacks. That's super hacky but it works, I guess... Closing this!
