This was motivated by this change upstream for 2.0.0 version: 2.0.0: Sam Lantinga - Sun Jun 9 14:45:30 PDT 2013 * Made libmodplug the default MOD player as it is now in the public domain The same support existed in 1.2 since 2009 although disabled, so I thought that it would be useful to have modplug enabled in 1.2 if it was the preferred lib for SDL2_mixer: 1.2.12: [...] Jon Atkins - Sat Nov 14 13:00:18 PST 2009 * Added support for libmodplug (disabled by default) Also because modplug seems more popular by a far margin: http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libmikmod2+libmodplug1&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 So I think that this failure might be because the XM files are now interpreted by modplug which cannot read the file. It would be useful if you install "mikmod" and "modplug-tools" and try to verify if they both can play the file, or have some problem, etc. If this is the case, I think that it would be useful to either fix the XM files (if it's a problem with the format of the file itself, if the most popular interpreter has problems) or report the bug to ModPlug (maybe it's more popular but the support for XM is incomplete). Other changes might have caused this, e.g. overflow protection now enabled for sdl-mixer1.2 getting in the way. > On Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 02:09:31PM -0800, Bill Kendrick wrote: >> >> Sadly, I do not.
