Hello.

Having a bit of trouble with SDL_mixer. For some reason, this file:

http://darklogik.org/tmp/sect1.ogg

(Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~256006 bps, created by: Xiph.Org
libVorbis I (1.0))

md5: a61ddc4f6445134c8125558182908ff2

..will load fine on my OS X based G4, but not on my FreeBSD x86 desktop.

Mix_LoadWAV gives the following error:

``Unrecognized sound file type''

This is very strange. The file works correctly in other players such as
alsaplayer and Mplayer.

I'm not doing anything clever with the code:

normal_music = Mix_LoadWAV("sect1.ogg");
if (!normal_music) {
die_sdl("load_wav", Mix_GetError());
return 0;
}

Any help would be appreciated.

My gut feeling is that SDL_mixer on your FreeBSD machine is not linked
against the ogg vorbis library.

Er, any way to check?

I installed SDL from ports and the ogg library was referenced, but that's
not a guarantee.

Your exe is linked against the right libraries anyway, so I whould assume
that doing 'ldd /usr/local/lib/libSDL_mixer.so.2' whould also show a
libogg.so line like the above.

Then my best guess is grabbing the source for SDL_mixer, build a debug
version and try to locate why its not being recognized.

Ah. I'll look sheepish and say that I forgot to try ldd on the library,
Ogg is NOT linked in:

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libSDL_mixer.so.2

libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28375000)

I'll ask the port maintainers to add the option of linking in Ogg support.

thanks!
