Hello,
I have compiled SDL2_mixer with ./configure --disable-pulseaudio
I know I can use SDL_mixer 1.2 without PulseAudio (I only have ALSA on my linux system).
Is PulseAudio required with SDL2_mixer?
When I try to run a simple example, I get:

"Could not setup connection to PulseAudio"

I attached the source code used to test SDL2_mixer.

(Closing really old bug reports here.)

You've probably moved on since 2012, but SDL_mixer doesn't talk to PulseAudio directly; it talks to SDL, which talks to Pulse, so you'd have to disable it in SDL.
