I can't answer to your whole question.
What I can say is you can use Alleg with both Midas and Seal, BUT, in this
case you
musn't do the Allegro's install_sound() or it will
crash/do_nothing/something_else.

Concerning the graphics, I think (but I didn't tried, at the opposite of
Seal/Allegro) that
you can't use both Allegro and another lib functions.
Conflicts will surely happen, as if you try do do both Allegro's and Seal's
audio capabilities.

The chance is that Allegro is very clean : eg: you can easily use it's
graphics capabilities, 
and take the sound playing from any other lib. Each Allegro's module is
independant enough to not to conflict.

If you use Seal, you'll have do alway use the AUpdateAudio(), in order the
sound to not to be cut. You can without any problem use the Alleg's timer
handler in order to put in
a call to AUpdateAudio. I tried this, and that worked fine.
I played a S3M with Seal, while some stupid robots were fighting in a maze
:-)

Shawn, are you OK with this ?
