The old free version (not the remake) of LA-MULANA uses DirectMusic .sgt files for its music.

I'm interested in writing a music player for it in Rust. I noticed that you already have a C++ project for playing DirectMusic, but I would prefer to use Rust, if possible.

I actually tried to play the music of LA-MULANA with libdmusic, but it seems to output silence for some reason. Don't know if it's a bug in libdmusic or something on my end, but maybe you would be interested in testing your library with LA-MULANA.

You can download LA-MULANA here http://agtp.romhack.net/extra/LA-MULANA.zip. It's the old freeware version, not the remake on Steam, so it's legal.

Anyway, back on topic. This library seems to choke on the .sgt files in the music subfolder of the game.
The error is Custom { kind: UnexpectedEof, error: StringError("failed to fill whole buffer") }.

Frustrated, I rolled my own hand-written RIFF parser which seems to work on these .sgt files, but I would rather not reinvent the wheel.

My question boils down to: Since your DirectMusic project is in C++, are you still interested in maintaining this Rust library? If so, I could try to figure out what's wrong and submit a patch. I could even volunteer as a maintainer if you want.
