Description ny00 2017-03-01 18:52:49 UTC 
The following commit, adding the function Mix_OpenAudioDevice, leads to the regression as described in the summary: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_mixer/rev/fb0562cc1559

The reason is that SDL_OpenAudioDevice is now called from Mix_OpenAudio or Mix_OpenAudioDevice, rather than SDL_OpenAudio as previously used (via Mix_OpenAudio).

SDL_OpenAudio differs from SDL_OpenAudioDevice by initializing the audio subsystem if it isn't init.

There is at least one app which got broken by this (revision no. 6079 of EDuke32).
