Bug Description

Binary package hint: supertux

Supertux 0.3.0 hangs when quitting. It prints this message at the top of the window:
 Warning: tried spawning Tux in solid matter. Compensating.

If the application is killed when hung, it nonetheless keeps the sound busy, so no other application can use it. This can not be corrected by restarting X. In this condition, if Supertux is restarted, it prints a warning about not being able to use sound and becomes mortally slow.

I suspect this is an OpenAL-related issue. Did you already try changing the output driver of the OpenAL HAL according to <http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/Tips_and_Tricks> or <http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/OpenAL_Configuration#Examples>?

Thank you for the reference. I looked there and, after some
experiments, I found that this configuration works for me:

================ /etc/openalrc ================
(define devices '(esd alsa native null))
(define alsa-out-device "default")
#(define alsa-out-device "output")
(define samplig-rate 44100)
(define speaker-num 2)
===============================================

Now the bug as described has gone.

Can you tell me what is the change that made the difference?

Does this mean that the next releases will incorporate this fix?
