Thanks, Pedro and I have been corresponding.  Until a fix is  
available, you can either downgrade to fluidsynth 1.1.1 (as you  
said), or you can compile fluidsynth 1.1.2 to use floats instead of  
doubles, either by adding '-Denable-floats=yes' to the cmake command  
line, or by using the autotools build system, which defaults to floats.
