Hello,
Thanks for the patch! Would you mind not making an upload of SDL right now? I will package a new revision of the current one with the build dependencies fixed ( i already fixed that bug here in 1.2.8 that I am working on... it was simply a 'configure' parameter ). I will try to release a -4 revision tonight with the fixes already included.
Would you be able to upload it for me?
Lawrence

I don't know what your timetable for the new version is, but in the meantime, we worked this bug a bit at the BSP this weekend, and the attached patch is the result. This may be nothing different than what you already had in mind, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to get it into the BTS.
In looking around at the source, I noticed that the alsa driver was not the only one that had references to dlopen(); the esd and arts drivers also have support for dlopen, only in the case of these two drivers, they *only* support dlopen -- they are not linked against the underlying libs, and as a result the packages are also missing dependencies on the packages providing them! I'm almost positive this is not the intended behavior -- AIUI, much of the purpose of having split SDL audio packages is to ensure there's at least one working audio driver -- but I didn't make any changes here without confirming with you first.
I'm not NMUing for this bug at this time, because upon reflection, I think this bug should be downgraded; and because the entire issue arose because of a misbuild in the *maintainer's* build environment, so an NMU doesn't actually fix that. The chances of a security upload tripping across this bug in testing or stable is very slim, and the immediate breakage in the archive has already been fixed by a recompile-only NMU, so I don't think there's any reason left to consider this RC.
OTOH, if it's determined that libsdl1.2debian-arts and libsdl1.2debian-esd are missing dependencies on the corresponding audio libs, that would be an RC bug.
