The crash cannot be reproduced anymore after applying the patch. The other
issues with ScummVM were happening before the patch too (cut-off notes and
shifted channels in Gabriel Knight 1.)

No issues when using Linux Fluidsynth. Different synths behave differently
though, and I would need to also test a Windows VSTi version of Fluidsynth
running in Wine, but I can't find such a thing :-/ So comparing Roland Sound
Canvas VA running in Wine vs Fluidsynth running natively on Linux doesn't say
much, unfortunately.

However, if I capture the MIDI data generated by ScummVM into a MIDI file, and
then play that file directly in the Windows MIDI player without going through
the Wine/ALSA-MIDI layer, then the instruments are still cut off and some of
them are still wrong, which makes me believe ScummVM's MIDI output is broken,
at least on Linux. Maybe trying the Windows version of ScummVM in Wine would be
a useful test. I'll try that.
