Using these soundfonts crashes qsynth immediately upon play:

This one I just tried crashes after a few seconds upon play:
Vintage Dreams Waves v2.sf2
These ones don't output any sound:
Chris_Percussion2.sf2
Saber_5ths_and_3rds.sf2
All but Vintage Dreams come from hammersound.net.
I think it is actually fluidsynth that crashes. I try using it also
and it just says "Killed".
In gdb I get a segfault:

What I really don't get is the "Can't set high priority..." I have RT
limits and jack is able to go realtime. Could its inability to do
that be causing the troubles?
Yes, volume is up and the connections seem to be made on their own.
qjackctl connect dialog shows the connections established. Other jack
stuff can output sound.
I'll google for 8mbgmsfx and see what happens...
I am trying to use qsynth to play midi files
through jack. I have
tried 3 different sound fonts. 2 make no sounds and the GM font just
crashes with output 'Killed'. fluidsynth does the same when using
that font. When I play the midi with pmidi -p 129:0 file.mid I see
green lights flash and such, but no sound comes out. I turned up gain
but nothing happens. Using Qjackctl I see that the connections are
right, it should be making noise. Pmidi seems to be ok with it...
But nothing comes out. I have tried 3 different fonts and 2 different
files having totally different content (one heavy metal the other
piano music). I don't know what to try next.
Noah, how are you starting qsynth ? Specifically, what fonts have you
tried ? I think fluidsynth has some troubles with large soundfonts, at
least I've been unable to use qsynth with the Fluid_R3 font. Works fine
with Creative's 8mbgmsfx.sf2 though.
Youve connected qsynth's audio output to alsa_pcm in the Qjackctl audio
connections panel ? Volume is up on the mixer ?
Please let me know what fonts you've tried. Details help. :)
