I suppose there's no reason CMake can't read the version of FMOD and produce an error.

Ok. This is something for a PR by a Linux guy. I see no point touching this stuff myself as I cannot test.

It shouldn't happen if FMOD version is 4.44.61, so here's one exception to the 'allow only one' rule we should consider.

I guess this can't be fixed on ZDoom's side, right? Today a similar report came up. Shouldn't then at least the CMake file be altered to allow only one sound backend on Linux?

Sure, removing FMOD would work fine, but then you could pass -DNO_FMOD to the cmake configuration command line to make it work anyways.

I actually got this working by just uninstalling FMODex libs from my system, without those ZDoom compiles with only OpenAL support and everything is groovy. Thanks for the clue!

Weird - on my box, the sounds simply won't play. I'm usually compiling with OpenAL exclusively these days, so I forgot all about this one.

That's because of symbol conflicts between fmod and openal. You should try with fmod 4.44.61.

Steps to repro:
1. build and run latest ZDoom code
1. set the audio backend to OpenAL
2. open doom 2 map01 or any map with an easily accessible secret
3. enter a secret sector and the game will crash right as it tries to play dssecret.flac (or any of the FLAC files in zdoom.pk3, or OGG ambient sounds in a WIP project of mine)

Log from laptop attached. Also happens in GZDoom.

This happens on both my Linux laptop and desktop, running Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit and Arch Linux 64-bit (latest 4.7 kernel) respectively. Setting the audio backend back to FMOD avoids the crash.

I definitely have all the right libraries installed, as ZDoom compiles from source with no errors and plays Doom-format sounds and music correctly.

This has actually been happening for a while, I set my audio to FMODex and forgot about it.
