Description
I have been learning Haskell for the last year on and off. I have never been able to get SDL.Mixer to play music stablily. It plays then randomly stops, or makes Glitching sounds, or repeats incorrectly or crashes the program entirely. I have tried so many different things, Including trying different music files and types and refresh rates. I have tried different versions of haskell and stack. Also different versions of SDL.Mixer. I have also made the same game in so many other languages including Forth, Rust, COBOL, C, C++, Python, Lua, Odin, Ruby. I have not had this issue with SDL_Mixer in any other language. I am unable to to find any mention anywhere of the errors i am getting. I really need some help.
Using Archlinux, stack lts-20.26, ghc 9.2.8.
To play music.
SDL.Mixer.playMusic SDL.Mixer.Forever music
if SDL.Mixer.haltMusic is used then SDL.Mixer.resumeMusic mostly never works. I have issues with mp3, ogg and wav. Music will stop playing randomly or glitch or make different sounds. The same issue has been persistent for over a year and over different games and coding styles and versions. I run the commands with catch and print out the exceptions. Though most of the time it errors without raising an exception.
SDLCallFailed {sdlExceptionCaller = "SDL.Mixer.playMusic", sdlFunction = "Mix_PlayMusic", sdlExceptionEr
ror = "ov_time_seek: OV_FALSE"}
