I just added code to call the mixer library functions to open audio and
load and play some sounds in my upcoming game “VidSlide,” and I’m noticing
that when I do this, audio streams from the MPG’s aren’t being played!
SMPEG_() and SDL_() functions aren’t giving me any errors or warnings.
If I disable mixer calls, it works fine.
Also, I noticed that if I load an MPEG twice (which means loading once,
setting audio and looping, and then playing the MPEG… then stopping the
MPEG and deleting it, and then loading, setting audio/looping and playing
a second time), the MPEGs audio will then start playing…
…However… then all of my mixer sounds stop playing!
I’m currently using SDL 0.11.2. I don’t see a version number for mixer,
but it’s the one that came in SDL 0.11.2’s examples archive.
I’m using SMPEG 0.2.7, which also came with SDL 0.11.2’s examples.
Would an upgrade to 1.0 fix this? Or am I finding a new bug?

I just noticed SMPEG 0.3.1 is available. I tried it, and still the same
problems. <:^(
Ahhhh… you need to use mixer 1.0, from the Loki public CVS repository cvs.lokigames.com, and smpeg 0.3.2 from the same place, and then configure
smpeg with --enable-mixer
Everything should work fine then. I’m going to put them on the SDL library
pages today.

I’m looking at using SDL on an embedded system. This will have
limited HDD space (and no monitor anyway) so installing X isn’t
an option. But I still want to use SDL (I will be using SDL
surfaces to do image manipulation which will be displayed on
custom hardware.)
When I try to make SDL on a system with no X, SDL won’t build
(at least, not out of the box).
This leaves me wondering what the best course of action is.
Should I:
o Build SDL as usual on a system with X, then copy the libs
to the non-X system (which could mean unpredictable run-time
errors when the X libs aren’t found) I could see this
working acceptably so long as I didn’t attempt to call any
SDL functions that implicitly update the X display.
o Edit the makefile/source tree to remove all references to
X to build SDL without any reference to X.
o other?
Any ideas appreciated.

There might be header dependencies, but if you configure SDL with
–disable-video-x11, it will have no X11 library dependencies.
I can update the source so that if you configure it that way it
has no X11 header dependencies as well, but in the mean time, you
should be able to build it on a box without X and use the libraries
on a box with no X.
Hello,
I wonder if the new GGI option in SDL would let you run SDL programs
bypassing X window?
I have not read the documentation about his topic but it would be a
good choice …
Also, there is the option of using the frame-buffer console for doing
graphics without X window.
