If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
FluidSynth IS a MIDI daemon (well, not really daemon but definitely running in the backgroun), and connects to port 14:0. So I guess allowing to change the MIDI output port in your application should suffice...
As for how do you set it up, it's as simple as gettin QSynth, a Qt frontend to it, and starting it whenever you need MIDI capabilities.
By the way, I have a /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg, even customized by myself to use less resources and a soundfont. Other applications accept this, but FreeDink plain crashes.
Also, in my opinion, SDL_mixer using Timidity++ is a bit annoying because it can introduce problems like this, but then again that's something to complain about to the SDL developers.
