Just to make a note of the volume bugfix mentioned in whatsnew, it's
actually two bugs:

-sdl_mixer with mikmod sets the mikmod volume to 96 (75%) although it sets
modplug volume to 100%. Even 1st hg revision did this.
 Confirmed it's same loudness as audiere/DUMB at 75% volume.
- sdl_mixer.dll mikmod bug: volume increases after the first loop
