[Pingus-Devel] Re: [Clanlib-devel] ClanLib 0.8 (930) on Mac OS X

[Tim Wilson-Brown]

Hi,

Upgrading to mikmod 3.2.2 on Mac OS X *did* make a difference - the  
"Oh No!" sound now plays without crashing the program.  So there's  
more functionality, but it's not complete: Has anyone else had  
trouble playing sounds on Mac OS X that play fine on other platforms?

I have had trouble with the Pingus music track 1 and Oh No! sounds.
