Please unblock package libmikmod
The current package in testing suffers from a serious issue (not
reported though, only observed while preparing -5): in certain cases,
applications that rely on libmikmod will not see any driver but the
nosound one, effectively rendering them useless. As it turns out,
enabling the fortify hardening flags breaks libmikmod's module loading,
so -5 turns that off, as a temporary measure until I figure out what the
underlying problem really is.
It also rearranges the order of sound drivers, so nosound is preferred
over saving to music.raw, as to not pollute the filesystem with huge
music files. With this change in place, the pulseaudio-esound-compat |
oss-compat recommendation could be lowered to suggests.
All of these are fairly trivial changes, but nevertheless, would make
the libmikmod version in wheezy much more useful, so I'd like to request
an unblock for it.
A debdiff between -4.1 (currently in wheezy) and -5 (in unstable) has
been attached. Some parts of the diff have been omitted, as they're just
noise (timestamp changes under debian/patches, and other noops like
that).
Thanks in advance!

one of those, the fallback path is to write output to ./music.raw, which
is unlikely to be what you want!

+Register the NULL driver sooner, as having no sound is preferable to
