Yes, it plays fine, I can hear quarter-notes. But I started FluidSynth
as a server and used aplaymidi to send the file to it. When specifying
the file on the command-line, I get the same results as R.L. Horn
mentioned, so there seems to be a problem with parsing the MIDI file.

Try running fluidsynth as a server:
fluidsynth -a alsa soundfonts/fluid.sf2

Then in another shell:
aplaymidi -p 129:0 Piano_Standard.midi

Your port number will probably be different, not 129:0. Check it with
aplaymidi -l

Cheers,
