The patch I mentioned was applied to FluidSynth 1.0.8. I can say with 
pretty good confidence that the patch has to be redone to work with the 
changes that have been made to FluidSynth since then. I would take the 
testing by Miditzer use with a grain of salt because that use is tightly 
controlled and consistent amongst the hundreds of users. So there isn't 
much breadth in that testing.

I have tried to revise and apply the Frappiat patches to FluidSynth 
1.1.1 and I got as far as adding all the DLL entries and some of the 
easier functions so that the Miditzer community could test the core 
functionality of the new version of FluidSynth. However, I didn't manage 
to add the main function of returning the MIDI messages to the caller. I 
will send a copy of what I have to Pedro and anyone else who wants a 
copy of this for what it's worth.
