FluidSynth currently only has support for 16 bit samples.  Swami uses
the SoundFont loader API, which just currently doesn't have support for
other formats other than 16 bit.  It would take some changes to
FluidSynth.

At this point I tend to agree.  I'm curious if the route of GObject was
taken, what that would look like.  There are some object building tools
which assist with the process, and you end up with something that is
rather language binding friendly in a semi automated fashion (Python and
C++).
