Hi,

I've forwarded your message to the FluidSynth-dev mailing list.

Please take a look to the existing bug reports, and file a new one if you 
wish: http://fluidsynth.resonance.org/trac/report/6

BTW: are you testing the recently released fluidsynth-1.1.0, or an older  
1.0.x ?

I recommend you to also try the simplest possible scenario: using the ALSA 
audio driver instead of Jack, the command line interface fluidsynth client 
instead of QSynth, and aplaymidi instead of Rosegarden. Provide the full 
command line(s) used to perform the test, and the MIDI/SF2 files (URLs to 
download, if they are published somewhere). Please include in the bug report 
the exact version numbers of every program involved, and the origin of the 
programs (if you compiled it yourself or installed from a distro's 
repository).

Regards,
Pedro
