Hi, StepMania 3.9 OGG support on my AMD64 system seems broken even if I've compiled it with "vorbis" USE flag. When trying to play an OGG file I get : WARNING: RageSound::Load: error opening sound "......ogg": Unknown file format in the console. Thanks.

I can confirm this too. I had a quick look around, and although stepmania is being linked against ogg/vorbis libs, it only tries to detect mp3 and wav filetypes. There aren't many changes in the code between -rc3 and release version so I'm not sure why this is happening. I looked at the patches, and while the alsa patch looks totally wrong, removing it doesn't resolve this issue.
OK, found the problem. It's a duff configure file produced by autoconf. If you do ./configure --with-vorbis it skips the vorbis/ogg tests. If I understood how autotools worked I would edit aclocal.m4 to fix the test, but I don't. I have, however, changed the ebuild to use the old way: - $(use_with vorbis) \ + $(use vorbis || echo --without-vorbis) \ The configure tests will then be run, and egg files will then play as normal (I have tested this fully, but a glance at configure output will also confirm). However, I still have doubts about the alsa patch and urge someone to look at it. It looks to me as if it will SetSWParams only if SetHWParams succeeds, which is the opposite of what it used to do. It seems to me you would likely want to set software parameters if setting hardware parameters failed! I'm not really into the whole C++ thing though, so I leave it up to someone else to determine the right course of action. I would suggest to people who need this patch that they probably have a broken (perhaps superfluous) asoundrc, or should set SoundDrivers=ALSA-sw in their Data/StepMania.ini
The previously listed solution is NOT the proper way to fix this. This is an upstream problem with the way one of the .m4 files is written. I am attaching a patch to fix this problem in the source tree.
Created attachment 86377 [details, diff] Patch to fix vorbis support in stepmania 3.9
Created attachment 86506 [details, diff] Fixed Sean's patch. Changed the patch slightly to actually point to the right file (aclocal.m4, not audio.m4). I don't know if this is because Sean is using another version of stepmania or what; but the change I've made to the patch is right for the latest version in portage (3.9). Otherwise I've tested the patch with USE=vorbis and USE=-vorbis and it works fine. "autoconf || die 'autoconf failed'" will need to be added after the epatch line, and I still suggest that the alsa patch is removed for the reasons I gave above. :)
Re-assign wrt Bug 133117. Please, remove warpzero from metadata.xml.
Some action on this package would be good. The version in portage is still broken, and this patch fixes the issue in the same way it's fixed upstream in cvs. It just needs putting into portage (by anyone, I guess, since there's no maintainer for this package now).
Fixed in portage. alsa patch has not been removed, waiting for feedback from the guy who wrote, CC'ed. Please damien, check the suggestion at comment #3 and remove the alsa patch. If that work, tell us

If > that work, tell us > I can't compile stepmania anymore (SDL_EventMask error, i'll see it later)(And I can't test the vorbis/autools trick too) , but with "SoundDrivers=Alsa-sw", I have no warnings anymore, so it should be OK.
The change in the ebuild from comment #3 is working for me (and without alsa "patch"). I submitted a bug about the sdl error ( bug #135440 )
