------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 When playing the Freddy Pharskas demo (either one) and using a MIDI driver
 (FluidSynth, in my case) if I press the "Watch the Ballad" button while
 the main menu music is still playing, some notes are left hanging.

 I have not been able to reproduce this with AdLib or MT-32 emulation.

 Nor have I been able to reproduce it with the floppy version of the full
 game (GOG includes both the CD and floppy versions, fortunately).

 Both the demo and floppy versions do seem to ask for some sort of fade
 out. Oddly enough, the floppy version fades the music volume from 127 to
 117, and then apparently stops fading. Maybe the music is stopped some
 other way. In the demo, the volume fades all the way from 127 to 0 in
 steps of 5.

 I'll see if I can make some recordings to show what I mean.
