Bug Description

Sauerbraten will not start with the current version of SDL.

Terminal output:

dean@linux:~/Desktop$ /usr/games/sauerbraten
Using home directory: /home/dean/.sauerbraten
init: sdl
Unable to initialize SDL: SDL not built with audio support

dean@linux:~/Desktop$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

dean@linux:~/Desktop$ apt-cache policy sauerbraten

I believe that the problem is with the libsdl-sound package not being the same as the main libsdl package.

Updated info:

If I remove the libsdl1.2debian-all package & install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio, Sauerbraten will start normally. Interesting that sound is not available with "all' that is assumed to have such.

So it looks like the old libsdl-sound1.2 package is not to blame--It now looks like the bug should be filed with the libsdl package.

Fwiw, I could start sauerbraten with sound (just no video) on jaunty.
