Describe the bug

On Windows, playback failures due to non-ASCII characters in filenames occur with MIDI files, but not with SoundFont files. MIDI files that use only ASCII characters in the filename will play correctly.

When _WIN32 macro is enabled. fluid_is_midifile() is called twice in main() of fluidsynth.c. The first time, u8_path is set as the argument, which is argv[i] converted by win32_ansi_to_utf8(). The second time, argv[i] is set as the argument without being converted. This difference is a bit concerning.

Thank you.

@stardusteyes Thanks for the report. Can you test the fluidsynth-x64 binaries and confirm that this fixes the problem?

I'm a little concerned that the following is not included, but I don't mind if it doesn't cause any problems.

if defined(_WIN32)

    free(u8_buf);

endif

I only tested the current issue. The test binary worked as expected. I think the problem is fixed.

Thank you.

Ok, thanks for confirming. I indeed missed the free(), thanks!
