First; forget about the prognum - it is not a CC. The question is still
valid for banknum though.

I've tried to dig a bit deeper here. It is hard to find free standards
on the net (has anybody bought a copy from midi.org?), but I found the
XG standard here:

The first question is: What do we really support? GM? GM2? GS? XG? For
XG, the drum kit bank is 127, not 1.

There is also some information in this document which I think should
apply to us regardless, especially the default values of controllers. E
g the default volume for each channel should be 100 by default, not 127
as set in fluid_channel_init_ctrl.
