I raised a query on the Fluidsynth list, and they suggested trying with 
the command-line
version of fluidsynth. I tried that and it responded as it should - 
which suggests the
problem is in the Calf Gui. I guess I should raise it with the Calf list 
(if I can find it.)

I assume that LV2 uses either Alsa or Jack to communicate, but I've not 
used LV2 at all.
Certainly Fluidsynth, and hence Calf, is quite happy using Jack. I don't 
know about the
other Calf plugins, as I've never used any, other than the synth.
