The midifile is fine, it plays everywhere. It even plays in fluidsynth with 
portaudio and jack drivers.
Did you listen to the file I posted? That is a recording of fluidsynth running 
with coreaudio, and then with
portaudio. It is heavily distorted with coreaudio, but fine with portaudio.

What I am saying is that this is regardless of the midi file. All midifiles I 
tested and also realtime MIDI input exhibit the same behaviour. So I can only 
conclude that there is something wrong with fluidsynth's coreaudio backend.

Victor
