Using the swami soundfont editor (http://swami.resonance.org/trac) I can
also modify the volume envelope release value and eliminate the clicking
noise.

However, using swami to take a quick survey of the many SF2 soundfonts
that I have gathered from the Web, I discover that perhaps the majority
of them have a near zero release value set.  All these fonts should
therefore cause problems with Timididty++, but as I have indicated
previously, they will not cause problems with the fluidsynth software
synthesizer.  So, is the assessment that these soundfonts lack a
"sane envelope" really a correct one?
