Bug Description
[Impact]
* Users have reported the inability to use soundfonts with Carla hosted allowing them to make sound which they weren't before.
* Backporting this to the stable release would fix the problem.
* The upload simply adds libsndfile1-dev as a build dependency, also includes an upstream patch from the author to fix incompatibilities with lsp-plugins.
[Test Case]
* Add any soundfont-utilizing synthesizer plugin to Carla, patch audio out to system out, attempt to play notes either using a MIDI keyboard or using the canvas keyboard in Carla. Carla gives the following error: ad_open(): fatal: no decoder backend available
* Using the same procedures after the libsndfile1-dev build dependency is added should result in actual notes being produced.
[Regression Potential]
* Adding libsndfile1-dev as a build dependency allows synthesizer plugins to actually make sound, which they weren't before, but instead were causing the aforementioned error. This is primarily to allow said synthesizer to use sfz sound fonts. I see no regression potential here.
* Adding the patch from the upstream developer (in debian/patches) fixes a compatibility issue with lsp-plugins in which the plugins were not behaving correctly in some cases. This has been tested to work upstream, and is included in the beta version of Carla 2.1. No regression here as it fixes an existing bug upstream.
* Had to fix the debian/rules file to allow the wine bridges to build against the version of wine included in the archives due to a bug in said wine package. Mostly a workaround, but allows build to take place. If there is a regression here, I do not see it in my testing. (built correctly in ppa:ubuntustudi
[Other Information]
* Upload includes a patch from upstream developer to fix compatibility issues with lsp-plugins, and debian/rules has been modified to deal with FTBFS bug introduced by wine-development included in eoan.
* I have PPU rights on this package, so patch is not included in this bug report as no sponsorship is needed. Just looking for a "green light".
* As of this writing, focal is in freeze, but the fix has been uploaded there as well and is in-queue.
