Requires:
The latest stable release of SDL 1.2
Runs on:
All platforms supported by SDL
Description:
SDL_mixer is a sample multi-channel audio mixer library.
It supports any number of simultaneously playing channels of 16 bit
stereo audio, plus a single channel of music, mixed by the popular
MikMod MOD, Timidity MIDI, Ogg Vorbis, and SMPEG MP3 libraries.
As of SDL_mixer 1.2.7, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 loading libraries are dynamically loaded, so if you don't need to load those formats, you don't need to include those shared libraries.
Timidity:
Mixer supports playing MIDI format files using software
wavetable via an old version of timidity. This requires you to have a GUS
compatible set of sound patches on your system. By default, the library
looks for these patches on Win32 in C:\timidity, and on UNIX in
/usr/local/lib/timidity/.
A freely redistributable set of GUS compatible patches:
timidity.tar.gz (14 MB)
A set of sample MIDI songs, origin unknown:
bestmid3.tar.gz (1.3 MB)
Changes:
1.2.11:
* Fixed initialization error and crashes if MikMod library isn't available
* Fixed bug loading multiple music files
1.2.10:
* Added Mix_Init()/Mix_Quit() to prevent constantly loading and unloading DLLs

* Use newer MIDI API on Mac OS X 10.5+
1.2.9:
* Updated native MIDI support on Mac OS X for 10.6
* Reset channel volumes after a fade out interrupts a fade in.
* Fixed crash race condition with position audio functions
* Fixed stereo panning in 8-bit mode
* Added /usr/share/timidity to the default timidity.cfg locations
