Bug#460536: libsdl-mixer1.2: plays music at wrong sample rates

[Yann Vernier]

Package: libsdl-mixer1.2
Version: 1.2.8-3
Severity: normal


When playing pydance, I found some songs that played at less than half
the speed they should. It turns out pydance was initialized to 22050Hz
sample rate, and SDL_mixer would play 44.1kHz songs resampled but 48kHz
songs were not. Further experiments showed that resampling would occur
at half rates, but not close rates. Playing 44.1kHz songs at 48kHz
sample rate thus showed a similar problem. This is quite unacceptable
for a program like pydance which relies on correct timing and switching
songs.
