The fluidsynth command utility loads and plays the example SF3-file I
found fine. [fluid~] says it loaded it, but I get only silence when
playing notes.

I only have access to a Windows 10 VM. I experience the exact same
behaviour with [fluid~], it's seems not specific to my build. 

The fact that fluidsynth can deal with a sf3 file that [fluid~] can't
makes me assume that the problem is somewhere in [fluid~]. However,
dealing with this is way beyond my capabilities. Personally, I'd be
happy with a [fluid~] from Deken that works with SF2 files. If that is
a goal, I'd be able to provide builds for Linux platforms not covered
yet. 

This is how I tested:

SF3-file from here: 
https://www.hedsound.com/2019/11/hedsound-b3-organ-presets.html

MIDI-file from here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MIDI_sample.mid?qsrc=3044

Command:
fluidsynth -j HedOrgan-B3-Presets-V84d.sf3 MIDI_sample.mid
