Its unfortunate that C and C++ have to be so divided in the world of
programming. No I don't particularly mind announcements of a forked
FluidSynth, as you do seem set on continuing with the platform as you
have it. While QMake/C++ might fit your needs, it likely doesn't fit
the needs of many other users.

There were recent updates in CVS that fixed a number of issues with the
loader (mainly memory leaks). The SoundFont loader is just somewhat of
a hack in my opinion (so my comment is more related to the quality of
the code). It was kind of forced into the FluidSynth code base from a
separate project. It wastes a bit of memory in its current
implementation, from what I have seen. My main motivation to using
libInstPatch in FluidSynth though is to be able to use other instrument
formats as support is added in libInstPatch.
