[Bug]: No sound with linux-generic-amd64 builds

[tyrone-sudeium]

Version of OpenTTD

openttd-jgrpp-0.52.0+. Arch Linux.

Expected result

When running with -ddriver=1 in version 0.51.1 or earlier, the sound works, with this printed out:

dbg: [driver] Successfully probed sound driver 'sdl'

Actual result

When running with -ddriver=1 in version 0.52.0 and up (including latest), there is no sound, and it prints this error:

dbg: [driver] Probing sound driver 'sdl' failed with error: dsp: No such audio device

Steps to reproduce

Simply run ./openttd -ddriver=1 from openttd-jgrpp-0.52.0-linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz (or any version newer) and you'll notice there's no sound, and the above mentioned error message. Note that I've also tried latest upstream openttd-13.3-linux-generic-amd64 and it does not exhibit this issue, so I imagine there's some issue with your build pipelines (specifically around compiling SDL?), hence opening an issue here instead of upstream 😉.

I also do not encounter this problem when I compile from source.

The upstream nightlies don't appear to work either, I will forward this upstream in a bit

[JGRennison]

This has been fixed upstream so should be in the next release

New to this patch, what sort of time frame is it till next release?

[JGRennison]

It's usually between 1 and 4 weeks between releases
