Public bug reported:
I upgraded my amd64 system from Gutsy to Hardy specifically to try out
the new PulseAudio integration. When I tried to run several SDL apps
(playsound, mplayer with "-o sdl", moon-lander) they all died,
complaining "Couldn't open audio device!". The libsdl1.2debian-
pulseaudio binary package had been installed automatically, but SDL apps
were not able to play sound using any SDL driver. When I installed the
libsdl1.2debian-all package instead, SDL programs were able to play
sound using the alsa, pulseaudio, and esd drivers by setting the
SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable to one of those values. It seems
that libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio is not built correctly, at least on
amd64. As discussed in Bug #128447, the various binary packages
including libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio seem unnecessary, since libsdl1
.2debian-all does the job well.
** Affects: libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu)
