Hmmm, is your machine even slower than mine (P4 Northwood at 2.6 GHz)? My
guess so far is that FluidSynth requires a really fast machine to produce
decent output, especially with the PulseAudio driver.

I'm now also seeing this and the related lack of progress feedback. But that
sounds like a KMid2 issue to me, I don't see why it's getting blocked this
way, fluidsynth is a separate process.
