Here's one you could look into:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/ticket/559
The code in the SDL_mixer library was recently changed and when I tested
this on Haiku it now gives a segmentation fault instead of looping the midi
file.  First step might be to try the same test using the previous version
of the SDL_mixer library to see if that works or not.  One issue here is
that you would need to be able to run Haiku on hardware that has working
sound.
They are close to releasing the next version of the SDL_mixer library, so
if this could be fixed real soon it might make it into the next release.
