No audio in Parabola Gnu/Linux-libre with sdl backend

[Guest One]

Hi,

i installed lightspark 0.7.2 i686 from pcr repo in Parabola GNU/Linux-libre (https://parabolagnulinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=lightspark) and i set in /etc/xdg/lightspark.conf the sdl backend because i don't use pulseaudio.
I can see videos for example in YouTube and in other websites but i can't hear the audio.
My browser is iceweasel-libre 20.0.1 i686 (https://parabolagnulinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=iceweasel-libre).

There are also other bug reports about sdl so the sad state of affairs may be that the sdl backend is not working anymore. I don't personally use sdl so I can't confirm if it is broken or not.

I've looked inside the package (https://parabolagnulinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=lightspark) and the problem is that the sdl-backend isn't included in that build (file /usr/lib/lightspark/plugins/liblightsparksdlplugin.so is missing), so changing lightspark.conf alone won't help. Please inform the package maintainer to include the sdl-backend in the package.

This is no lightspark bug, but a packaging bug.
