As Ebrahim pointed out this is a fluidsynth issue. Sorry, this use
case got slipped through our tests. As a workaround, you can fall back
to fluidsynth-1.1.1 which is unaffected by this bug (but unfortunately
affected by other bugs). fluidsynth-1.1.1 should still be in repos. If
not, grab it from koji
