Perhaps v4 is better at playing MMD3 modules (as saved from Soundstudio). This gets some or all the sample frequencies wrong or so.

@Thematic 
 
Maybe it is just programmed to stop when it receives input from the shell (stdin)?

Strange behaviour (different from what I'm used to on AmigaOS): if I start it _without run_ in shell, and enter another xmp command line before the first one returns, the first one is interrupted. Some sort of detachment maybe?

No, just replacement AHI-Handler. AHI-Handler is just a handler (a simpler type of filesystem) that implements the AUDIO: interface that the Amiga port of xmp uses. The interface is somewhat similar to OSS on linux which makes rewriting linux audio code that uses OSS audio system to use AUDIO: usually very simple. 
 
The AHI-Handler replacement I was testing was supposed to be a total rewrite of the original AHI one to be more portable and have some new features. I'll probably get back to working on it again at some point.

Tested and it works fine on my Sam440EP. I can't check now but it's possible that I had simply forgot to put back the original AHI-Handler in L: after having tested a replacement AHI-Handler that I was working on some time ago and this was causing the problems with xmp.

What happens when AHI is occupied anyway by another program? Here it runs through the module at 100x rate without error (message), ostensibly decoding it.

Something appears to be broken in this version because I can't get to play anything. It just prints the initial file info stuff and then stops (I can see that there is some CPU usage but no audio is produced and the current position in the CLI isn't being updated). 
 
Also this program could really use a stack cookie.

xeron, that's very true. i just read the midi part, my tired eyes skipped the 
mmd1 part.

"Several MMD1 files play at half the intended tempo" 
Don't use this player for MIDI files. 
Use Curty's midi plugin for TuneNet instead, it does a better job by far!

The MIDI bug reports should be sent to the author of XMP.

I'm working on making this into a TuneNet plug-in, but bear with me... it might 
have to wait until 2.6.

Several MMD1 files play at half the intended tempo, despite that xmp 
"Estimated time" seems to be correct. Example:

What's wrong with the MED support?

Don't hold your breath about MED playback. But some of my favourite DBM were 
listenable, that's great!

If it crashes, try raising the stack. I'll fix this once i know how much stack 
it uses.
