Using XMMS's libMikMod plugin, in 16-bit resolution mode, it produces only garbage noise. Selecting 8-bit mode fixes it right up. This leads me to believe it may be an endian-ness issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start XMMS 2. In the Preferences dialog, make sure the Resolution for libMikMod is set to 16-bit 3. Open a MOD file and play Actual Results: Got hideous staticy noise out of the speakers. Expected Results: Clear playing of the MOD file.

It _is_ an endianness-bug. I looked into the mikmod-source but can't find anything how to change it. Usually mikmod runs on ppc (even on MacOS), but I don't know, if they switched off the usage of 16-bit mods. I will leave this bug as new. Hopefully another dev with other skills may look in it ;-)
looking into this now
hm, the code to the mikmod plugin was last changed in '99 - and from looking at it, I see no suspicious code. could this be a sound driver issue?
could you try xmms-1.2.8-r1 ? and if it doesnt work post an offending mod file ?
Brian, please see spanky's comment.
Sorry, Gentoo has crashed horribly on my Mac and I haven't been able to get it booting again. If anyone else can test this, it was EVERY mod file which was causing the problem, so you shouldn't have a problem reproducing it with the older version.
Going to close this with worksforme
