You would simply drop the %{_smp_mflags} from the spec, add
a comment in the same line and be done. However, if you believe
it builds fine *always*, keep the SMP make flags and expect
the unexpected. Keep it until it breaks. ;)

That won't help at all, since it doesn't change the SONAME
of the library, and plugins would still depend on that SONAME.
It's solely a matter of API/ABI stability of libqmmp.so --
stuff that is linked against libqmmp.so requires a specific
interface version of the lib, not *any* libqmmp.so. 
Sooner or later there may be additional plugin packages which
would be built for a specific version of libqmmp, and if that
is not reflected in a properly versioned library soname
dependency, it is up to the packagers to hardcode versions as
"Requires" in their packages manually and avoid that an upgrade
of qmmp breaks plugin pkgs by changing libqmmp in incompatible
ways.

Don't worry yet, just be aware of the implications of a version-less
soname in run-time linker's search path.
