Although I do not use Linux I assume that you need the Linux-I86 version
because your Linux runs on an Intel-x86 machine. alpha means the (DEC?) 
alpha architecture; I don't know what "elf" is.

musixflx.mx1 is a small test input, which can be used to generate 
musixflx.mx2 by feeding musixflx with that .mx1. The new .mx2 should
then be identical to the .mx4 file.

So you can use the .mx1 for testing if you generate your own musixflx 
maybe by calling   cc -o musixflx musixflx[.c]
