[SDL] SDL test program, no sound and no error either

[Albert Zeyer]

Still a lot of things unclear:

Have you noticed, that you have timidity, mp3 and oss support disabled?
Was that your intention?

Can you show the full source of your app? There are only code snippets
on the site. Or have you used the SDL PlaySound.zip on the site?

Please post the output of amixer.

How long is the app running? Does it quit immediatly or does it run
exactly as long as the sound?

Post the output of the app.

Are you able to play the sound.wav by another player (for example VLC or
whatever you are using normally)?
