Bug #335
in *nix MIDI hangs Doomsday
100%
Description
When setting DENG_MIDI_CMD to either "timidity" or
"aplaymidi -p 65:0" (my soundcard has internal MIDI
support), if while on a level the current song loops,
next time the song has to either change or stop (when
the level changes, when quitting), doomsday hangs.
I have to killall -s 9 both doomsday and
timidity/aplaymidi, else music still plays.
Doomsday.out seems clean.

Same problem here. I'm using an Audigy 2 Soundcard on
Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. I've installed the Ubuntu Dapper
packages from Yagisan's site (deng 1.9.0-beta4). The
problem doesn't occur when I'm either disabling the
background music or using the OpenAL driver (-oal option),
but then there's also no midi music output. Playing midis
with KMid or any other player that supports it works
flawlessly.

Not setting DENG_MIDI_CMD and allowing sdl_mixer to control
midi output does not cause this bug to occur. Downgrading
priority - but it warrants further investigation.

That isn't exactly true. If your sound card has a hardware
sequencer (my Audigy2 does) and SDL_mixer finds an option in
timidity.cfg that it doesn't recognize, it attemps to use
native midi:

Unfortunately that seems even more broken ;). It causes
weird short hangs at the menu and sometimes even crashes in
both doomsday and prboom.

I just wanted to say that mrdarka is right on this. Same
problem here :).

I do have native MIDI (SB Live 5.1 Value), but did not
reproduce that error. mrdarka's comments indicate sdl_mixer
may be broken. I'll look into duplicating this on my system
with current svn within a few days.
