Thanks for filing such a detailed bug report. I'm all for replacing libmodplug with a better maintained alternative, however, the ffmpeg libopenmpt demuxer currently has bug causing head-buffer-overflows in libopenmpt. I expect that the fix [1] will make it into the next ffmpeg bugfix release, so I intend to switch to libopenmpt when importing that.

Bug#849840: libavformat57: enable libopenmpt support
Package: libavformat57 Version: 7:3.2.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi, I think that libopenmpt should be enabled in the Debian ffmpeg package. libopenmpt-dev is in the archive right now. libopenmpt is designed to be a replacement for libmodplug as it handles the same types of files. There is an FAQ documenting the differences here: https://lib.openmpt.org/libopenmpt/#sec_faq. The major advantage is that it has a fairly active upstream compared to libmodplug and certain modules play better with it. I don't know if libmodplug has to be disabled, but presumably ffmpeg will choose one over the other for the vast majority of cases so I'm not sure it's worth it having both enabled.
