So, in Fluidsynth setting synth.output-channels to a

Now, is there a way to map MIDI channels to audio output channels.
E.g. MIDI 1 -> audio 1 & 2
The obvious advantage is the possibility for example to record into
ardour on separate tracks without having to manually play over and over
muting midi tracks etc.
From what I understand from the manual the router is only applied to MIDI.
Qsynth actually does seem to have exactly this option in Setup > Audio
there is a checkbox "Multiple JACK Outputs" and the tip says "Create
Multiple JACK output ports for channels, groups and effects". But
selecting it has no effect, and actually overrides and ignores the Audio
Channel setting.
synth.audio-groups
Integer. [min=1, max=256]. By default, the synthesizer outputs a single stereo
signal. Using this option, the synthesizer can output multichannel audio. This
value should be the same as "synth.audio-channels" unless LADSPA is enabled,
then it will be the number of inputs to the LADSPA subsystem.
If you set this number to 16, each MIDI channel will be mapped to a separate
stereo output. If the number is less than 16 then audio_output# = MIDI_channel
module audio_groups.
