You've misread the code. :-/ For coef[0] and coef[1], it is (values[2]+values[1]) / 2 and then add or subtract values[4] to the answer.

14 This function and the semantics of SDL alpha blending have changed since version 1\&.1\&.4\&. Up until version 1\&.1\&.5, an alpha value of 0 was considered opaque and a value of 255 was considered transparent\&. This has now been inverted: 0 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_TRANSPARENT\fP) is now considered transparent and 255 (\fBSDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE\fP) is now considered opaque\&.

19 The\fBsurface\fR parameter specifies which surface whose alpha attributes you wish to adjust\&. \fBflags\fR is used to specify whether alpha blending should be used (\fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP) and whether the surface should use RLE acceleration for blitting (\fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP)\&. \fBflags\fR can be an OR\&'d combination of these two options, one of these options or 0\&. If \fBSDL_SRCALPHA\fP is not passed as a flag then all alpha information is ignored when blitting the surface\&. The \fBalpha\fR parameter is the per-surface alpha value; a surface need not have an alpha channel to use per-surface alpha and blitting can still be accelerated with \fBSDL_RLEACCEL\fP\&.

24 The per-surface alpha value of 128 is considered a special case and is optimised, so it\&'s much faster than other per-surface values\&.

56 Note that RGBA->RGBA blits (with SDL_SRCALPHA set) keep the alpha of the destination surface\&. This means that you cannot compose two arbitrary RGBA surfaces this way and get the result you would expect from "overlaying" them; the destination alpha will work as a mask\&.
