The SF2 spec requires a minimum release time of around 16 ms. That's how 
"immediate" you can get.

Well... yes it should be, but in fact it is not.

What you're requesting is a job for fluid_synth_set_gen2() and something like 
this should do it:

foreach (c : midichannel)
  fluid_synth_set_gen2(synth, c, GEN_VOLENVRELEASE, 0, TRUE, TRUE);

This sets the generator responsible for volume release to an absolute value of 
0 for each midi channel. However: This feature never worked as it's 
implementation is incomplete. Therefore it was concluded to remove it upon next 
major version bump:

@Marcus + JJC: Is this use-case worth to keep absolute generators? Or is there 
any other way of achieving what Mark is asking for?
