Tracker Modules in FreeDink!!!!
I just tried this out and it turns out that tracker modules (.mod and xm tested so far.) works with the playmidi command!
This really expands options for soundtracks in dmods and really makes a nice change from midi files without file size compromises.
In case you didn't know about this (nobody's mentioned it before), this will be my xmas present to you all.

Well... FreeDink uses Timidity I believe, which is also capable of playing modules. This is a very nice side effect (as it means I can even put in my own music). 
It's actually provided through SDL_mixer which itself uses MikMod.
And just the other day, SDL_mixer changed and that broke MikMod support under windows!
I was about to just drop MikMod, but after reading this, I had to fix it. It took me the better part of the day to get it to compile properly again, but now we can say it's official supported

Excellent stuff! Thanks Beuc.
