Why not ?

At home, I've written my own mod and s3m loader/players... just for
the hell of it.  Something I've always wanted to do.  Does the modplug
lib do it better than I do ? By far! :).  I need to spend a few nights
and finish up s3m... but...  as far as I can tell, my mod & s3m
playback is solid.  My mixer sucks, but that's not what I'm interested
in fiddling with at the moment.

But along similar notes... when there's mikmod, why bother with
modplug, fmod, or bass, etc ?  Because modplug and bass do infinitely
better than mikmod.  Or, maybe you prefer the API of one over the
other, etc.
