Hello,

in music.c, line 461:
native_midi_ok = !timidity_ok;

It means that you can't use native midi if timidity is ok and available, even if you set the SDL_NATIVE_MUSIC environment variable (as written in native_midi_gpl/README). It would be nice to be able to test either output without  having to recompile with one or the other disabled.
