Security impact is unclear but it breaks runtime usage on musl (thanks to mallocng). Patch: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/commit/8367bc3ed276dd46f94e6bdad17034374c1feb5e.
Package list is empty or all packages have requested keywords.
@games can the version be bumped to latest (2.6.0) or are there specific dependencies that require version 1.2? In that case the patch should probably be pulled from upstream to fix the security issue.

We keep sdl-1 around for compatibility with older things (plus 2 is already packaged as sdl2-mixer).
While sdl12-compat exists as a SDL1 compatibility layer around SDL2, there is unfortunately no equivalent for SDL_mixer. Having said that, I believe the API is practically identical, and I did once have games-strategy/s25rttr running with SDL1 for the video and SDL2_mixer for the audio. I'm not aware of any issues with doing this, but it would probably be less controversial if you did it while using sdl12-compat. I have an ebuild ready to go, I just need to deal with a couple of corner case packages first.

Fixes a substantial number of warnings, build system quirks, and even a security bug. What a bargain!
