There's one feature I thought of implementing, but from what I remember of how fluid is structured, it would require modifications to the fluid library: that is, to have an external which has a seperate output for each voice.
Because this feature probably wouldn't interest too many people, I've decided to give up on the idea for now.
It's not that far out: IIRC there was a discussion on fluid-dev some time ago if and how to implement exactly that, or at least more than stereo out. It might be tricky, though.
I also would like to see that, if alone for independent panning of different instruments (like hihat left, conga right and bassdrum in the center, which is not possible with fluidsynth currently, as panning is always per channel, IIR)

Tackling your last paragraph first, I don't understand why that wouldn't be possible already, unless perhaps fluid doesn't yet support all the soundfont features. I think I really don't understand your second sentence that is in the parentheses - I don't understand what you mean by "per channel" - what is a channel in this context? Certainly in a drum soundfont, each sound could be assigned to a certain pan angle, no?
At any rate, as per what I was wanting to do, I think I wasn't clear enough, or else there was some ambiguity about the definition of "voice". By voice, I did not mean a separate instrument, but rather, an instance of a a note synthesizer attached to a single soundfont zone. What I was thinking of, is a single soundfont zone attached to my large Piano soundfont. However, instead of letting fluid mix everything together, I would like a seperate output for each overlappling instance of note events. This is quite different then having a seperate output simply for different instruments.
