Warning: SDL2 and Arch Linux

[Doozer]

For your information.

From SDL2 version 2.0.8-2 the ALSA audio driver has been disabled (at compile time). Please use version 2.0.8-1 and do not upgrade the package to enjoy sound unless you are using other audio driver like pulseaudio on your system.

Problem is still present in 2.0.8-5.

It must be a mature decision because the author recognised it was done deliberately.

It is time my friend to enable pulseaudio in your distribution. For a short term solution you can build a custom PKGBUILD, but it will require more maintenance is the situation last longer.

The new version sdl2-2.0.8-6 has ALSA support back in.
