Some Cannon Fodder 2 soundtrack .AMF musics aren't played good by lib ModPlug.

File "02 - Menu.amf": you can heard some "biiip" whistle near at 38sec and 40sec
File "03 - Heli Animation.amf": same "biip" at the very start of song

I known ModPlug is a plugin/codec for modern Players (like VLC, Winamp, etc), but could it be fixed to play AMF correctly, like MikMod lib does, or even old dos Dual Module Player does?

Otherwise put back again LibMikMod on SDL2_mixer and use it for AMF format.

It may be, but it has been always full of serious bugs, some of which
has only recently fixed.

This should be reported at https://github.com/Konstanty/libmodplug
but let's keep this open too:  Maybe I can find some time and find
the source of the issue.

Yes, LibMikMod is release version 3.3.11.1, series 3:
http://mikmod.sourceforge.net/

I think it could be possibile maintain both MikMod & ModPlug, compiling dynamic or static linking to SDL2_Mixer, and give a priority to play same managed audio formats in case both libs are present.

I can PR on github an update of sln and visual studio project to using latest versions of them.

FWIW, I tried running current SDL_mixer development tree with the
attached amf file here, I cannot hear that 'beep' when playing it
with the playmus example app.

Do you still experience your issue with current development source?
