Description
There seems to be a popular variant of `SF2` called `sfArk`. The source code seems to be open and relatively small in size. Could we consider patching this into our `SF2` plugin so that our users have a higher compatibility rate with soundfonts they download on the internet?
The site says free for non-commercial use, but that clearly applies to the binary version as the GPL license does not restrict commercial use.

Research direction
Start by reviewing LMMS's existing SF2 plugin and the linked sfArkLib and sfarkxtc projects, including their licensing. Determine the integration scope and how sfArk soundfonts would be recognized and loaded. Done means the plugin supports the requested sfArk compatibility without violating the relevant license terms.
