These look like some serious improvements. Non-blocking ALSA, and greatly increased DGA speed stick to mind. Now every CVS game you have will demand the new SDL dev package… oh well. I bet its either being uploaded to Debian Unstable now or somebody’s compiler is cranking. This will cause a ripple effect through the games packages. Hmm… better wait a bit before updating ;-)
[br]Thanks Sam! SDL is great and you are one of the Free Software Hero’s! We all owe you a Free Software Beer!

[i]Turned dynamic loading of ESD and aRts on by default[/i]

I do believe that bringing up those audio services dynamically by running an application is a security risk. I can think of a dozen shell exploits to wrap those daemons to another service to execute arbitrary code.

FusionSound (of DirectFB.org fame), XFree86 Audio Extensionm YIFF Sound Server, [b]aRts[/b], [b]ESD[/b]…some others I can’t remember. There are many, with YIFF having the most potential.
