Yay! The first in the new line of superlative SDL development versions.
Featuring:
* Separated the demos and examples into a separate archive
* Added support for loading Microsoft compressed WAV files
* Added “soft” application crash recovery (signal handlers)
* Fixed POSIX signal handling interaction with threads
* Fixed audio output on MKLinux
This last one will be of particular interest to Michael and Nathan. 
Get it while it’s hot from:
http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/develop.html
It’s also current in the CVS archive, if you want to get it that way.

Yuck no! I use linux-pmac, as does mik… 
njh

Hmm… I run Linux/Pmac – much faster (especially since MkLinux doesn’t even
boot on my machine)…
Anyway, I fixed the sound in my kernel finally (and then Paul M. released his
own, which apparently has sound fixed too, and DMA for IDE…), so as long as
you didn’t do any endianness tinkering in the sound, I should be fine… (Yes,
the 2.1.11x sound driver is little-endian, which the 2.1.24 sound driver is big
endian… well, it was last I looked, anyway)On Fri, Aug 07, 1998 at 02:30:22AM -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:

Don’t trust anything I say, just give it consideration.

Great, after all that work!
Could you let me know if the demos work properly anyway? And Maelstrom?
Linux/Pmac doesn’t boot on my machine. Funny, because it’s a PPC 8500.
Anyway…

Yep. Does the driver respect setting the format to a particular endianness?
If so, SDL will be fine. If it ignores a format request, then SDL might have
problems.

I don’t. 
See ya!

Hmmm, why not? Perhaps I can help you there?

Hehehe… well next you’ll make a MacOS port, to find that everybody has stopped
running MacOS, and are Linux/Pmac or Linux/m68k (I threw that 85MB MacOS
drive into the trash yesterday, because it was crashing the 2.1.115 kernel

Hmm… if it’s PCI, and has Open Firmware, it will work. Are you sure that
you’re trying hard enough? Have you installed bootvars? Can you boot off a
floppy? (Continue thread off-list or on goofey if you actually want to get it
working – you don’t need to wipe MkLinux to boot Linux/Pmac)

Well, this driver is meant to be the ‘everything fixed’ driver, so I assume so.
It did break a few mp3 players though…On Fri, Aug 07, 1998 at 08:44:54AM -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:
