Comment (by lavadrop):

 Maybe SCI is expecting to read a flag whether it's a Base or Extended MIDI
 device?

 I tested the intro in DOSbox and there it plays from channels 2-10.
 Did the same in today's daily build and both the Sierra fanfare and the
 intro are played using the systems MIDI Synth, but in-game music plays on
 channel 8-16 if and only if you disable high resolution graphics; during
 Alhazred's cutscene in the beginning, some instruments are wrong (samba
 whistles).
 I also tested using Windows 3.1 inside DOSBox, the audio of the fanfare
 and intro is a VFW movie and in-game the music plays on channels 2-10
 correctly.
