Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ia32-libs
The title says it. In the case of SDL, if someone has set ALSA to use the pulse
device, that means 32-bit SDL applications are expected to work without sound
and crash on quit (at least according to my experience with a few of them).
Now I know that it could be too late to add new libraries for Hardy, but if,
say, libvorbis and libvorbisfile can be added, that'd be one more improvement.
Anyway, a more general problem is that such requests may be done for every
single library available (e.g. libSDL-image, libSDL-sound, and in fact almost
everything missing); That makes me think that maybe, as long as we don't have
some kind of multi-arch support, we should (also) use names like:
lib32sdl1.2debian, lib32sdl1.2debian-all, lib32sdl1.2debian-esd, lib32vorbis0a,
etc (based on lib64 package names used in Mandriva).
Now I know that there are already a few packages like lib32asound2 and
lib32ncurses5.
If that's too much now for Hardy, maybe just the addition of a few libraries to
the existing ia32-libs can be made.
