[Resolved][0.9.9.6 Linux i386 & x64] Variety of music problems.

Base i386 extraction, no changes

Base i386 extraction, converting the mp3s to ogg

Base x64 extraction, converting the mp3s to ogg

Now here is where things get strange. If after trying to use the oggs, if I switch back to the mp3s I stop getting error messages and the program runs, but the music doesn't play, it just skips the first half a second over and over again. The reason this happens is the script I use to convert the oggs must touch up the mp3s, because the mp3s themselves actually change (side effect I guess). No amount of changing config file options seem to fix this, the only thing I haven't tried is FMOD, which is what I'm going to do after this post. I even tried using mp3s downloaded straight from http://www.sirgalahad.org/paul/doom/, no luck.

Edit: See my next post, seems like oggs work, mp3s don't

It's not a fault of the files, it's your SDL_mixer installation. Try upgrading SDL_mixer,  ogg vorbis, and installing smpeg. Also recompile SDL_mixer with MP3 support if your distro doesn't have it by default (some distros don't!)

Does it matter that Oggs work with 0.9.9.5 (both x64 and i386)? I'd rather not re-install a bunch of libraries that appear to work fine. I was unable to get mp3s working in 0.9.9.5 though. Also which version of FMOD were you using for development? I can't seem to get either x64/i386 to work with it. Music isn't that important to me, I'm just curious if I can get it working.

Sigh, I really need more coffee when I try to do things. Turns out the script wasn't converting the mp3s correctly. Once I fixed the script to actually convert the mp3s to oggs, the oggs worked. The mp3s still don't, but that doesn't matter to me.
