I've tested plain timidity with your patches and all is well for me. I've tested games/wesnoth (which uses sdl-mixer) and it seems to work fine music-wise (it still has graphical corruption I noticed a long time ago and then forgot about, but that's not related to your patch). I'm not sure if it actually uses MIDI functionality in any way, but at the very least nothing is broken with your patches. I don't have any installed ports which use sdl2-mixer, but I figured I'd at least report back that everything works with what I do use. -- Bryan
