retitle 369670 lockup when music enabled (no timidity; /dev/sequencer exists)
thanks

Hi Edward, thanks for your analysis. This bug is definitely not AMD64
specific, as I can reproduce it on two i386 machines. When you have
timidity installed, libsdl-mixer doesn't attempt to use the hardware
synth, which is why you don't get the crash anymore.

The author of "chocolate-doom" can reproduce a crash similar to this
with his port, so I think it's a libsdl-mixer issue (and will merge this
into the bug reported there already).

The fact it sounds horrible is most likely the low quality of freepats;
if so, please report a bug there. But, if you extract the midi from your
IWAD using deutex and play that using another player that uses timidity,
and it sounds different to prboom's rendition, please file another bug
here.
