So the FS command (fluidsynth -a file -i -n -T wav -o
audio.file.name=output.wav soundfont.sf2 midifile.mid) still just
produces a 4 KB file? It works here.

Hmm. Since I don't really know how to reproduce that issue here, can you
do some debugging for me? The file driver should create a thread that
calls fluid_synth_one_block every few milliseconds (via
fluid_file_renderer_process_block). This is not working for some reason.

Can you see if the thread is created correctly, and whether
fluid_file_audio_run_s16 (in fluid_aufile.c) calls
fluid_file_renderer_process_block periodically?
