Pretty simple bug to report here.
The behavior as intended for dead.air - the opening segment's supposed to be quiet and spooky. It plays correctly in dumb - it does not play correctly in libxmp, where it starts playing the main song immediately.
Additionally, the same problem comes up in another way, I *think* - libxmp seems to be a bit fragile in regards to module subsongs in general - the order argument in ChangeMusic sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, seems inconsistent.

linking dead.air here for convenience.
Is there a reason why libopenmpt isn't included instead? that one's been considered foo_dumb's successor for a while now, from my understanding.

Re: libxmp problems with dead.air
There's a reason why you can switch back to DUMB in the menu and also have the option to set the preferred player for each music through SNDINFO. I have seen songs that play better with DUMB and others that paly better with XMP.
As for why this was chosen, it was an external contributionm but the last time I checked the full libOpenMPT was a bit messy to set up and the lite version being too limited.
If that song plays wrong with libXMP you should know where to report it. Here's not the right place for that. If libXMP reports this fixed we can upgrade the library.
