It makes no difference which of these two soundfonts is used.

As I said in my original email, the sound distortion problem is intermittent.
I haven't found a way to reproduce it.  However, if I use emu10k1 for MIDI
I usually encounter the sound distortion problem at least once every hour or so.
It seems to be a driver problem; it's not dependent on a particular MIDI file.

Steve Conrad was the first to mention an emu10k1 problem with soundfonts:
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7897993
The soundfont problem seems to occur whenever I first load the 25MB piano
soundfont and then later load the manufacturer's synthgm.sbk
soundfont (http://christian.datzko.ch/computer/synthgm.sbk).
Many but not all instruments are silent (piano usually works).
