This project is a Linux MIDI Synth library based on the Sonivox EAS 
Synthesizer published by Google on the Android Open Source Project. It is a 
real time MIDI wave table GM synthesizer and SMF player without needing 
external soundfonts, using embedded samples instead. It consumes very 
little resources, so it may be indicated in Linux projects for small  
devices. 

The library uses ALSA Sequencer MIDI input and PulseAudio output. Complete 
compile-time dependencies are: 
* Qt5 / Qt6
* Drumstick 2, for ALSA MIDI input. 
* PulseAudio, for audio output. 

The project contains: 
* cmdlnsynth: Command line sample program using the synthesizer library
* guisynth: GUI sample program using the synthesizer library
* libsvoxeas: The Linux synthesizer shared library, using ALSA Sequencer 
and PulseAudio
* sonivox: The AOSP source files as a git submodule, or an external shared 
library dependency: https://github.com/pedrolcl/sonivox

Changes:
* Some general fixes
    - fixed guisynth underlinking.
    - fixed program icon in KDE+Wayland.
* Fixed tickets: #3 and #4
    - allow to build with Qt6 without mixing Qt5 libs.
    - errors initializing ALSA, Pulse and Sonivox emit qFatal.
* Fixed ticket #2
    - icon.png file was installed in the wrong place.
    - added the original SVG icon, and two other icon sizes.
* Linked to the shared sonivox library instead of the static one
