I got it. It wasn't the .sf2 file being bad -- it was having an old
version of sfxload hanging around in /usr/local/bin. The new version
downloaded by apt-get sounds fine.
Also, there are much better free (as in beer) soundfonts available than
the ones that come with the SBLive. Google for "personal copy
soundfont".
Q: why are soundfonts mostly in funny formats (exe? sfArk?), instead
of compressed *SF2 files (using some common compression program like zip
or gzip etc.). That's not only on personal copy site but pretty much all
the site that have soundfonts.
