Which version of Allegro? This sounds kinda similar to something we had
happen with 3.0 (our fix might be in 3.1, not sure):  some midis got
played as a variety of hisses or nasty shrieks instead of as music, but
only on certain sound cards (SBPro, SB16). Sometimes just for a second
or two, sometimes the whole thing. Quite disconcerting :)
