Bug#1089246: mumble: New upstream stable release: 1.5.634

[Chris Knadle]

Hello, Diederik.

Before considering upgrades to a new version I have a debian-1.5.517-3 
bugfix release to do that I've been working on for some time. I had an 
NMU come in with no nmudiff shipped, so I had to manually create commits 
for the changes, and re-merge my own Git changes for the file conflicts. 
I lost incentive after having to deal with some newer systemd problems 
Mumble now has, and getting questioned about why/how I was dealing with 
those issues.

Thank you for seeing if the newer version can be built. I don't release 
a new version based on that alone though.

Before shipping any Mumble Debian release, I normally do some basic 
audio tests, using a couple of VMs and an older external mumble-server:

1. Connect new Mumble client to a server, and use Settings -> Audio 
Output -> Loopback Test -> Loopback -> "server" to get loopback audio 
to/from a remote mumble-server connection to make sure that the audio is 
functional. This is the test that most commonly catches when there's 
problems.

2. Connect newer Mumble and older Mumble clients to an older 
mumble-server to make sure both clients can communicate

3. Connect newer Mumble and older Mumble clients to the new 
mumble-server to make sure both clients can communicate.

These are for checking basic functions and to test for default protocol 
changes that may not work together. That problem is how I ended up 
having to become the Mumble package maintainer, if I wanted the package 
to continue work.

I'm going to see if my current 1.5.517-3 package builds, and see if I 
can at least push those Git commits to Salsa.
