Comment (by csnover):

 > IIRC, this is normal for the ealier games at least. Did you check SQ6 in
 dosbox?

 I thought I had, but no, you are right that the same behaviour of non-
 silent music at volume 0 does occur within SQ6. (Even for non-OPL music
 devices.) I feel like ScummVM ought to be able to have better control over
 this, but feel free to close this ticket if you don’t agree.

 > In any case, I suggest we postpone working on these kinds of issues
 until the MIDI player has been rewritten. I have a lot of new driver code
 that has been collecting dust for years, pending this rewrite.

 Indeed, I know wjp had also mentioned pending work on rewriting the MIDI
 code, so this ticket is more of a reminder to check that this is no longer
 an issue once the rewrite is done, rather than a call to action to fix it
 in the current MIDI code.
