Nope.  I put a warning message an an exit() statement in my
implementation, but it's never reached.

I just implement WAV music, using the SoundProc interface.  This works
fine.  If some kind of real MIDI was to be implemented, it should run
on the ARM cpu, which technically would make it a thread of its own,
but I think it would have to use a different interface anyway.  :)


Another question:  Has there been an incompatible change to the
savefile format?  I can save and load games, but if I try to load a
game saved before the code freeze, I get
