SDL_sound has optional smpeg support, but it doesn't actually build it in: ... checking for smpeg-config... /usr/bin/smpeg-config checking for SMPEG - version >= 0.4.3... no *** Could not run SMPEG test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means *** that the run-time linker is not finding SMPEG or finding the wrong *** version of SMPEG. If it is not finding SMPEG, you'll need to set your *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point *** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that *** is required on your system *** *** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH ... running smpeg-config --version gives me 0.4.4 the problem is the acinclude.m4 that comes with SDL_Sound has string literals with literal newlines in them, which gcc apparently can't parse any more adding gcc331.patch and the corresponding aclocal hacks from sdl-sound-1.0.1.ebuild into my overlay makes it compile in SMPEG Without SMPEG support compiled in, some mp3s cause SDL_Sound built-in mp3 decoder to hang (notably those that come with the Aleph One scenario M1A1)
thanks, fixed in cvs now
