The mixer can currently load Microsoft WAVE files as audio samples
|

and can load MIDI files via Timidity and the following music formats
|
|

|

via MikMod: .MOD .S3M .IT .XM. It can also load MP3 music using the

The process of mixing MIDI files to wave output is very CPU intensive,
|
|
slouken@0
|
18 |
so if playing regular WAVE files sound great, but playing MIDI files
|
|
slouken@0
|
19 |
sound choppy, try using 8-bit audio, mono audio, or lower frequencies.
