Created attachment 45139 [details, diff] patch for the compiler problem mythmusic 0.16 fixes the problem. I have made a patch for goom/zoom_filter_xmmx.c which is just a diff of the old 0.15 vs 0.16 files. They are very similar, I don't think there is no functionality added, only the bugfix. This fixes the compilation. I have not tested this fix.
0.16 is the current stable version.
