Comment 14 for bug 76179

This bug is indeed a fault of SDL-mixer. It has to do with a variable,
md_sndchn, which is either not properly updated, or used
inappropriately. I'm going to notify SDL-mixer upstream, as well as the
debian team, and give them a patch.

The workaround, for penguin-command, and any other program that uses
an affected version of SDL-mixer (all of them), is to not load music
files of varying channels. ramagard.s3m, icefront.s3m, and datajack.s3m
all have 8 channels. pennight.mod has 4 channels. You can bring
pennight.mod back, if you remaster it to have 8 channels.
Alternatively, you could choose to not load more than one music file at
a time. The problem occurs when the last music file loaded has a
different number of channels than the one you want to play. If you load
and play every time, I don't think you'll have a problem, except for
memory and/or lag between songs.

In penguin-command, the last file loaded is datajack.s3m, with 8
channels. That is why it crashed when it tried to play pennight.mod,
which has only has 4 channels.

Please use the word debian somewhere in the body or subject of the
message if you want to email me with any questions.
