fluidsynth v. 1.0.5  I have it working, but it isn't very stable, and like I 
said, the chorus and reverb causes it to generate NAN garbage. These problems 
don't have anything to do with the MIDI output of Rosegarden (or any other 
MIDI sequencer) I just wanted to make clear that problems with odd sounding 
output may be bugs in fluidsynth itself.
