Description RyanBram 2018-04-09 23:44:01 UTC 
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:
1. TinySoundfont for MIDI
2. libxmp_lite for IT, XM, MOD, and S3M
3. MiniMP3 for MP3
