This package seems to be new to the archive, but using the legacy SDL 1.2 API/ABI, which since trixie is provided by a compatibility layer implemented in terms of SDL 2. As a result, it also uses libsdl-mixer1.2, which is completely unmaintained upstream (there will be no new releases). If possible, please port this package to use SDL 2 directly. There is a migration guide at <https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/MigrationGuide>, and examples of successful ports from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2 can be found in the commit history of packages like darkplaces and ioquake3. The direct SDL 2 replacement for libsdl-mixer1.2-dev is libsdl2-mixer-dev, which has a very similar API and is maintained. Thanks, smcv
