[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 594461] Re: simutrans crashes with segfault when disabling music

[TimWintle]

I've confirmed this behaviour - starting the game with music enabled
causes this for me (on AMD-64).

Starting from a terminal with the "-nomidi" flag does not cause this
behaviour for me.

the  -nomidi flag has been a long-time recommendation for avoiding this
on linux from upstream - According to the release notes for 101.0 (
http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1205.0 ),

"disabling sound and midi will be now saved and will disable them
completely to avoid the SDL_mixer troubles"

Status in “simutrans” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: simutrans

When starting simutrans, there is no sound and music. If i then disable the music button, the game crashes after about 20 seconds.

I've added debug console output as an attachment.

Steps to reproduce:
- Start simutrans
- Open options
- Select "Disable music" (if it was already disabled, enable first)

I've added my user to the audio group to have the neccessary rights on /dev/sequencer and /dev/snd/seq, but that didn't help.
