The sound of tumbleweed blowing across this list is deafening!  :-)
Anyways, just conducted my first test on Haiku (real hardware) using the 
FluidR3 GM.SF2 soundbank included in the above download.
It expands to a WHOPPING 141 Mb by the way. Still, I played back a 
couple of standard midi files using the MidiPlayer. I actually thought 
the system had hung. But being the patient kind of guy I am I hung 
around for a minute or so and woah!  Once the soundfont had loaded, both 
midi files played back without glitches.

The  load on the (1.8 Ghz) cpu was way too high and it almost max'd out 
my 512 Mb ram but hey! Well done for this! Thanks!
