Subject: balazarbrothers: Commandline option --no-sound not WELL taken into account.

Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:50:59 +0100

Package: balazarbrothers
Version: 1.0~rc1-1
Severity: important


Hello,

Since I have a moving and often broken sound system, I wanted to run the
game 'balazarbrothers' with the --no-sound commandline option as I did
successfully for the game 'balazar'.

Hopelessly, 'blazarbrothers' does not take this parameter into account
very well: upon invokation of this option, the program tries to
initialize the music and sound subsystems and first ignores set-up
exceptions, which is Ok, but the program surprisingly makes further
attempt to play music or sound which lead unfailingly to a critical
error saying that Soya's sound system would have been initialized before
and the program exits.

Here is the output of the program 'balazarbrothers':

In hope this could be usefull.

Coin,

If these games are so horrible, then you'd better never run them
again.

I'm closing the first two bugs which are clearly broken, awkward,
unpredictable, foolish, dumb, ...

I'm forwarding #453107 which is interresting to the author.
