OK, I checked with my friend, and what he ctually needs is an equivalent
to Megafont in Linux. ¿Someone can give me a clue on it?

Hi,
Recalling your previous question I'd guess megafont is a soundfont. Then
there should be no reason to look for anything else.
Soundfonts are not platform-specific, so it should be possible to load it
under Linux as well.
Try with asfxload as Lee suggested earlier.

I think Megafont is actually a program for loading large fonts into a
SB card. It seems to make more sense to me to use fluidsynth if you are
exceeding the capacity of the card as it is a neater solution. sfxload
handles bigger soundfonts than are possible in Windows as far as I can
remember (not sure how though), but when I loaded the Fluid3 soundfont
with it, some of the instruments were missing.

Yes, but I don't now why, the guy that asked me didn't wanted to use
sfxload.
Anyway, thank you both.

AFAIK you don't need a special program to load large soundfonts, because
ALSA supports larger soundfonts than Windows by default.

Well, I checked what exactly this guy wanted. I'll try to make this
clear, because I already made it a mess :-)
First of all, I'm very new to sfs, so I may be writting garbage.
It seems that this guy doesn want asfxload nor sfxload, because they
can't load sf2s "dinamically". I couldn't understand this, so I went to
[1]. It seems that this program can load the sf2 "on request", or
something like that.
The source of the program can be downloaded in [2], but I don't know
under wich license they are.
Anyway, if someone can explain me if there are any differencies, please
do it :-)

This is pretty cool. I think asfxload can theoretically be extended to
do this as well. I'll point this out on alsa-devel.
However this program appears to require the Creative drivers. All the
Windows users I know seems use the kX drivers.
