It had been said to be fixed with some libmikmod upload, but then was said to still occur. Even though this detail was posted nearly a decade ago and later partially invalidated since the proposed libmikmod changes didn't help, I did a quick crosscheck: And yes, installing pulseaudio triggers this issue: Sound continues, but video stops. Not immediately if installed during bb is running, but upon the next start of bb. No idea why, though. On the one hand I avoid pulseaudio as much as possible for a multitude of reasons including issues like this one. Which is probably also the reason why I never ran into this myself. At least I don't have any experience with programming audio or video processsing itself. So any hint on why pulseaudio triggers this issues (or even better, patches :-) would be very appreciated. (i.e. the "help" tag is still valid.) P.S.: After purging pulseaudio again, bb works again as expected, too. But I had to kill a running pulseaudio process manually despite I didn't have to start it manually when I installed the package. *sigh* P.P.S.: Yes, the double "f" in "iff" is on purpose.
