Bug#280565: libsdl1.2debian-oss: oss sound support not working

[Gerfried Fuchs]

  Dear Manuel!

 First of all, please be notified that if you only mail to
bugnumber at bugs the mail will only appear in the BTS and will *not* be
received by the submitter of the bug.  It was rather a lucky incident
that I noticed that you mailed to the bugreport than anything else ...

 Please use the bugnumber-submitter at bugs email address instead when you
want to notify the submitter of the bug, too.

 I totally welcome those, especially because when working on wesnoth we
found some SDL related bugs here and there and had to work around them
in the meantime.

 Unfortunately my test environment for that is gone for a very long time
now (haven't checked when I initially filed the bugreport, but by the
bug number it must have been several years ago?).  As you said, a lot
have evolved in the meantime, and we have pulseaudio as default by now,
and I also switched to alsa long ago before that.

 So I can't tell now anymore whether the issue is still outstanding -
but I guess you can safely close it by now, at least from my point of
view.

 Thanks for taking care of SDL,
Rhonda
