You've made two excellent choices, I assure you ;)

You could use Allegro's sound and music drivers... it's not just a
graphics library :) Briefly, it will load in .wav and .mid files (maybe
other formats - I can't remember) and play them back on demand, mixing
up to 8 .wav files. It is rumoured that work is in progress on using
the digital sound output to play midi files on cards which can't do
proper music - the present MIDI driver only really supports FM or LAPCI.

If you're new to DJGPP I don't know whether you know about this website -
Brennan's DJGPP Games Resources (or something like that). It's worth a
long look...
