I don't use systemd so I cannot test it, however the file used by archlinux is https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/fluidsynth.systemd?h=packages/fluidsynth If the rule "After=sound.target" implies "start fluidsynth after the start of the audio server", it should work. If you want to use a config file for the environment variables, a template/example is https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/fluidsynth.conf?h=packages/fluidsynth so `-a jack' if you use jack and `-m jack' if you use jack midi, etc. fluidsynth -a help fluidsynth -m help
Requested a period size of 64, got 940 instead [...] Requested 16 periods, got 8 instead
Probably the correct parameters with `-a alsa' (no jack, no pulseaudio, etc) in this case are fluidsynth -is -a alsa -r 48000 -z 1024 -c 8 because I presume 940 is "1024 * 44100 / 48000".

Thanks, now systemd service is starting correctly, but something is wrong with fluidsynth command because I cannot hear any sound. Maybe some ALSA/Pulseaudio conflict?
As you can see here:

# systemctl status -l fluidsynth.service
● fluidsynth.service - FluidSynth Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/fluidsynth.service; disabled)

           └─7768 /usr/bin/fluidsynth -is -a alsa -m alsa_seq -r 48000 -z 1024 -c 8 -p 7345

the command is:
fluidsynth -is -a alsa -m alsa_seq -r 48000 -z 1024 -c 8 -p 7345

I'm using PulseAudio but I've added these lines to ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

I want to specify fluidsynth port so I don't have to select it each time I start an application (Frescobaldi).
