Bug 1180

Summary: Mix_Playing wrongly returns true after end of timed, looped playback
Product: SDL_mixer Reporter: alexandru.albulescu+bugzilla
Component: miscAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P1    
Version: 1.2.11   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description alexandru.albulescu+bugzilla 2011-04-08 08:42:31 UTC 
If you use Mix_PlayChannelTimed() to play a chunk with loops>0 (so, at least twice), and a time limit, and if playback is cut short by the time limit, Mix_Playing() will continue to indefinitely return true.

Bumping priority on a few SDL_mixer bugs. This is just so we know to look at them for an upcoming release, but once we look at them more closely, we may decide to flag them as WONTFIX or push them back to a later release, so don't take this change in priority as any promise of anything, yet.  :)

The patch looks sane to me. It's now hg changeset e7c80564dda5.

Thanks!
