SDL_mixer-1.2.3 sometimes hangs in call to Mix_HaltChannel()

Hi,

When playing vectoroids 1.1.0 or trying mixer3.c from the SDL_Mixer
tutorial at http://www.kekkai.org/roger/sdl/mixer/ the programs hang
in calls to Mix_HaltChannel(). Not every call to Mix_HaltChannel() hangs.
I have only noticed the problem in mixer3 when music is playing.

I have Red Hat 7.2 with linux 2.4.18; alsa-driver-0.5.12a;
alsa-lib-0.5.10b; SDL-1.2.4 and SDL_mixer-1.2.3.

Does anyone else have the same problem?
Does anyone know why the programs hang and how to solve the problem?

This is fixed in CVS. Please upgrade your SDL_mixer installation and let
us know if it solves the problem.

Ryan, do you think we should make an SDL_mixer release?
Is there anything else that should go into it before it goes public?

See ya,

I’d be more comfortable if I could get some verification from those that
were having lockups, but hearing none, I’m willing to assume it’s fixed
and a release is justified.

Anyone still having trouble with the latest SDL_mixer from CVS?

When using SDL_mixer-1.2.4 instead of SDL_mixer-1.2.3,
vectoroids and mixer3 no longer hangs on my computer.

Thank you, Ryan!
