Bug Description

libmodplug has seen very little development in the last several years.

libopenmpt is the "spiritual successor" of libmodplug - https://lib.openmpt.org/libopenmpt/faq - with an actively developed modern codebase, more faithful sonic renderings of modules, support for more formats, security fixes, and more.

Possibly Mixxx uses some libmodplug playback FX DSP that isn't present in libopenmpt, so even though libopenmpt has a libmodplug compatibility build, maybe an upgrade might take a few development steps.

Removing a dependency on an unmaintained library would be nice. I'm not sure any current developers use this feature, so it would probably be up to you to work on this.
