What a great little tutorial. I especially like the tips about getting JEDI-SDL working on MacOS X.

I've added another tip to that Wiki page. It being that when using SDL_mixer, the call to Mix_OpenAudio MUST happen before the call to SDL_SetVideoMode, otherwise you will get a ( sometimes load ) audible pop.
