I'm not certain (I haven't done any sound programming with allegro yet),
but I suspect you have to do an 'install midi' or some such first (timer
might be needed as well, though I don't know).  Also 'init_allegro' (sp?
my computer with allegro installed is currently unavailable) is also a
good idea (so is `return 0' at the end of main ;).
