Hi,

I’m trying to pause/unpause audio in my media player(on linux) using  
SDL\_PauseAudio(x) SDL\_PauseAudio(1) pauses the playback but when  
SDL\_PauseAudio(0) is invoked, audio is not resumed. The problem I see is  
that the sdl\_callback function is never called again when SDL\_PauseAudio(0)  
is invoked.

This same procedure works fine when I run my player on windows. Can anyone  
help me out? I’m using SDL-1.2.6 on both windows and linux (and also tested  
the problem with SDL-1.2.7)

Thanks,

it can be the case that the application is exiting before the callback is  
being called.

Please check.
