- SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd temporary hack until SDL supports pulseaudio directly
avoids applications from locking up. (#358341)
At the last minute before F-8's release I added this ugly hack to
SDL_mixer to force SDL to use esd for sound instead of the default ALSA.
This change was made because it would at least allow sound on popular
games like wesnoth to work, and make the Fedora Games spin not
dead-on-arrival.
Unfortunately, this had the side-effect that we knew at the time of
disabling SDL sound if you have pulseaudio disabled or removed.
I should have thought of this earlier, but the /etc/profile.d/* scripts
that set the environment variable commanding SDL to use esd could have
been conditional. Still not perfect, but better to tide us over until
Lennart implements native pulseaudio for SDL that he promised to do
before F9.
The following changes should improve our workaround. I am uncertain if
the .csh version needs a matching unset for nonomatch or does it happen
automatically?
Should we push this in a SDL_mixer update?
