…sical notes manuel.montezelo@gmail.com 2011-12-28 11:42:44 PST Hi, I am forwarding the bug reported in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575575 The submitter requests the following (patch attached here as well): "When using timidity MIDI playback, music played in MIDI channels 10 and 16 are interpreted as drums. Really, only channel 10 should default to drums, according to the MIDI standard; drums on channel 16 are a Microsoft substandard. :) To fix this misfeature, please apply the attached patch. Contrary to what the comment above the affected line says, this is *not* a runtime option in SDL_mixer, as far as I can tell."

    On the other hand, some files know that 16 is not a drum channel and
