Currently, sdl_mixer use some MIDI and Module playback library which have one or some of following drawback:

Copyleft licensed;

Too many dependencies;

Too old or unmaintained;

Have playback glitch.

I recommended SDL developer to look for alternative libraries, such as:

TinySoundfont for MIDI

libxmp_lite for IT, XM, MOD, and S3M

MiniMP3 for MP3

TinySoundfont support would be fine, but still requires a sound font library. Feel free to add a PR that implements this, if the current MIDI support isn't sufficient for you.

We've switched to libmodplug for MOD support.

I just added support for MiniMP3, and switched to using that for MP3 support by default.

Thanks!
