Bugzilla Bug 145217

media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.6-r1 and all earlier versions have broken midi
synthesis using timidity++. This leads to heavily distorted sounds making it
practically useless.

The following patch fixes this issue and was obtained from
http://blog.moria.org.uk/games/doom/prboom/amd64-midi The issue should also be
fixed with sdl-mixer-1.2.7 and above.

The only game I know of that uses timidity++ for midi output is prboom and it
worked flawlessly during the past hour or so of playing on my amd64 system.

Created an attachment (id=95165) [edit]
patch to fix midi output on amd64 with sdl-mixer-1.2.6

sdl-mixer-1.2.7 has this fixed already, be easier to just move that to stable

Changed to request to stabalise media-libs/sdl-mixer-1.2.7 now that
libsdl-1.2.11 is stable.

Guess it helps to cc the archs.

ppc64 stable

1. emerged cleanly including test phase
2. passed collision-protect tests
3. passed multilib-strict tests
4. tested the library roughly following this:
