I’m on Gentoo. Your program builds and works here. It doesn’t handle
bad/missing file paths well, but it does play. I’d recommend checking the
return value from SDL_Init(). Something like this:
ret = SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
if ( 0 > ret ) {
printf("Error initialising SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
exit(1);
}
Added this line, and it passes through it fine.
What do you get if you do:
ldd ./play_sound

I had a problem with SDL_Mixer and using an external libmikmod (the default
on Gentoo). It kept trying to create files (‘music.raw’?) on the hardrive,
and if it couldn’t then SDL audio initialisation failed. I manually rebuilt
SDL_mixer whilst disabling use of an external libmikmod.
This doesn’t appear to be the problem here. FYI–I checked and there is a
Gentoo bug report for this:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99590
It appears to be fixed in the 1.2.6-r1 ebuild for sdl_mixer. I’ve upgraded to
this, but still don’t get any sound.

The ‘wavplay’ program does, as do the sounds in KDE.

You seem to have two version of these libraries, that is often a recipe
for trouble. I would remove all traces of your local build, manually if
neccessary, maybe re-emerge libsdl and sdl-mixer or run ldconfig and
then rebuild the test program (delete any object and executable files
first). Make sure it is linking to the libraries in /usr/lib using ldd.
I’m out of ideas at this point,

Ahh, that was it. I’m not sure how that got into /usr/local (I don’t remember
ever installing from source, just the ebuild), but I got rid of it and linked
against the libraries in /usr/lib. The sound now plays fine.
Thanks for all your help!
