A holy grail scenario. Because F-14 has reached end-of-life in 2011: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life As why perl-SDL has not been upgraded to 2.5xx ages ago, dunno. The following ticket explains it a bit: http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/perl-SDL -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/728524 I also don't know why you want to stick to an unsupported distribution release instead of using a long-time supported distribution. It seems you would be served better with trying to make your software work on the latest Fedora release plus working actively on making that release include sufficiently recent software that meets your requirements. That may require your help, however, in keeping such packages up-to-date. Also with regard to bugs that affect you. > Another problem with Audio::Ao/Libao is PulseAudio prevents you using > libao via its official documented interface! > > As an example, install vorbis-tools (to get ogg123) and play an ogg file: > > Audio Device: PulseAudio Output > Playing: file.ogg > Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz > > ERROR: Cannot open device pulse. <----- Works here.
