I find that X5R or X7R MLCCs are OK for not-so-critical audio paths (i.e. guitar pedals, as opposed to super Hi-Fi) if you significantly overspec them for voltage (say, 50V where they don't actually see more than 10V) and use the largest package size that will fit. Large C0G (over 0.1u or so) are very pricey, and bulky too. Might as well use film.
