Yes, the SF2 engine is currently in a quite orphaned state. It was added by 
Grigor, but nobody actually worked on this engine/format for quite a while 
now. I am personally not so interested in working on it actively ATM, since 
the Giga and SFZ formats are much more powerful than SF2.

Consider it alpha. And since I currently don't see anybody working on it, I 
don't expect this to change in near future.
