Is the section "Tips and tricks" really relevant ? On Debian system, smpeg isn't hard to get (just install package `libsmpeg0'). Moreover, Debian `libsdl-mixer1.2' package already depends on smpeg anyway. Moreover, reading SDL_Mixer home page, the fact that SDL_Mixer requires smpeg (for mp3 support) is perfectly normal. So I would say that probably every modern Linux distro

  1. makes smpeg library easily available
  2. packages SDL_Mixer library in such way that it depends on smpeg library, to be able to play mp3

So the fact that SDL_Mixer unit uses smpeg unit is perfectly normal and there's no need to make a fuss about it. So the section "Tips and tricks" may be removed. Any comments ? Michalis 01:31, 9 Jan 2006 (CET)
