As usual, 5 minutes after posting, I figure this part of the problem
out. :) I was calculating the number of frames based on the buffer size
that SDL_mixer was giving us. I forgot that if SDL_mixer is only using
11025Hz while FluidSynth is using 44100Hz then FluidSynth will have to
process four times as many frames. With that fixed, Rise of the Triad
sounds correct. D1X-Rebirth still doesn't.

Doing it this way is extra leg work for the CPU though. FluidSynth
should be able to work at this sample rate natively so there must be a
bug in there somewhere.
