Details

Description:

Right now what it does is run:

if ! pulseaudio --check &>/dev/null; then
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
fi

"pulseaudio --check" is not going to work if you are passing pulseaudio in to sandbox.

This is because it needs to read stuff from /proc/{pulse_server_pid}/

Obviously if you are running sandbox you don't want to pass global /proc/ filesystem.

Instead of using "pulseaudio --check" I suggest something like "test -e $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse/native"



Additional info:
* package version: 1.0.0.61-3

Reason for closing:  Deferred
Additional comments about closing:  fixed in 1.0.0.62-1 as we have dropped the alsa patch, it shouldn't be required with up to date SDL
