sdl_mixer is unable to play that

This is a follow up on the bug I filed at pygame:
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issue/69/

sdl_mixer is unable to play my midi file:

./playmus ty_u_menya.kar Opened audio at 22050 Hz 16 bit stereo (LE), 4096 bytes audio buffer Couldn't load ty_u_menya.kar: /usr/share/timidity/eawpatches/xgmap2.cfg: Corrupt MIDI file.
Comment 1 Pietro Battiston 2011-11-14 09:17:20 UTC 
Just wanted to add that:
- I have a lot of .kar files exhibiting the same behaviour (not publicly releasable, but I can mail them privately if they can help)
- I can be totally wrong, but my impression is that the issue is raised only for non-english karaoke files, as if it had to do with the charset or particular characters.

(in case that comment's useless, sorry for the noise)

Bumping priority on a few SDL_mixer bugs. This is just so we know to look at them for an upcoming release, but once we look at them more closely, we may decide to flag them as WONTFIX or push them back to a later release, so don't take this change in priority as any promise of anything, yet.  :)

This is fixed for timidity.  It looks like native midi on Mac OS X can't handle these tracks, FYI.

Yes, confirmed, it's fixed. Thanks a lot!
