Thanks! Yes, I've read all those messages as well. And it turns out that
the way the panning control works is actually exactly according to spec.
The weird behaviour when panning stereo samples is a feature, not a bug.
The Sound Font FAQ by EMU says the following:

 "There is no other "automatic" parameter settings in SoundFont stereo
sounds. Pan position may be wherever you like. (no automatic pan position
of stereo paired samples). [...] Thus, it is POSSIBLE to build a classic
stereo sound (pan hard left/right, half volume on each, same articulation
on each) in a SoundFont 2.0 bank but you are not CONFINED to those
settings!"

So as I've written previously, my suggestion to change the way panning
works was wrong. It's all working as intended. No need to change anything
here, sorry for the noise!

I have, however, added the ability to use the balance control (CC 8) to
FluidSynth. Here is the pull-request, if you are interested in testing and
giving feedback:

Cheers,
