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 attachment 95165 [details, diff] 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.
