From the 1.12.854 release notes:
* Improved library load time by delaying backend device probing until
needed.
It seems exactly what I reported: mplayer (with openal) probes backend
devices when it's not needed.
Well that seems to cover it, but it hardly represents the seriousness of
the problem.
It suggests a marginal speed improvement, not the fix for a bug.
That's not ideal. Packagers in all distros need to be able to have good
information available to decide whether or not updating is a sensible
thing. Right now I'm trying to evaluate whether or not it's wise for me
to break freeze and push this updated version through. We've got enough
time to do this, but just simply looking at the change log, I wouldn't
have thought it was a necessary upgrade by any means.
You are correct, but that might be an error on the part of the one who
wrote the release notes.
For me, ultimately, there is no way to know if the bug affecting my system
is fixed or not in the latest release, unless I get a build of the OpenAL
package on Ubuntu (backport, PPA, any solution is fine).
So, I am going to wait. I hope Daniel or someone else will kick-in with a
test package so I can test and provide further feedback. Thanks again -
you've been very helpful.
Best regards,
Mihai
