Bug#616657: pingus: fail to start because sdl_mixer can't be initialized

[Marco Stronati]

Package: pingus
Version: 0.7.2-4+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Pingus fails to start, for audio related problem. This is the output:

~$ pingus
Welcome to Pingus 0.7.2!
========================
data path:               /usr/games/../share/games/pingus/data/

music support:           enabled
resolution:              800x600
fullscreen:              disabled

SavegameManager: Parser problem: Couldn't open file '/home/paracetamolo/.pingus/savegames/savegames.scm'.
Unable to initialize SDL_Mixer: No available audio device
Pingus: Unknown throw caught!

I tried the -s option in order to disable audio, but the output is exactly the same.
Regards.

Marco
