Here ya go:

#include <...stdstuff....h>
#include "mikmod.h"

void ticker(void)
{
	MP_HandleTick();
	MD_SetBPM(mp_bpm);
}

int main(void)
{
	UNIMOD *modfile;

	md_mixfreq=44100;		//check the readme's
	md_dmabufsize=20000;		//same here!
	md_mode=7;			//16bit,stereo,interp
	md_device=0			//autodetect

	ML_RegisterLoader(&load_xm);
	MD_RegisterDriver(&drv_sb);	//i am assuming soundblaster
	MD_RegisterPlayer(ticker);	//control timing of playback

	assert(MD_Init()!=NULL);
	modfile=MF_LoadFN("yourmusic.xm");
	assert(modfile!=NULL);
	MP_Init(modfile);

	md_numchn=modfile->numchn;
	MD_PlayStart();
	while(!MP_Ready())
		MD_Update();
	MD_PlayStop();
	ML_Free(modfile);
	MD_Exit()
	return 0;
}

This will work.  If you have anymore questions, mail me.  I have torn
apart Mikmod a lot trying to figure out everything.

cya,
