--- Comment #4 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
1. There are two demos of Soldiers of Anarchy. The first demo is the one linked in comment 2 (soademo_1.9.77en.exe).
The second demo (soademo2_en.exe) is available there: https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-18044/Soldiers-of-Anarchy-Demo-2 and there (both files are identical) : https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=1694
Both demos have a 'sounds.ubn' file in the installation directory that is really a ZIP archive containing .mp3 and .wav files. There are music, speech and sound effects files. Music and speech are MP3 files, sound effects are WAV files.
The first demo has two types of MP3 files: $ file testmusic.mp3 testmusic.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 64 kbps, 44.1 kHz, Monaural $ file speechtest.mp3 speechtest.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo
The second demo has only one type of MP3: $ file speechtest.mp3 speechtest.mp3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 64 kbps, 44.1 kHz, Monaural
Both demos have 3 buttons in the in-game option menu to test music, speech and sound effects volumes. Only the sound effects button emits sound when pressed. I suspect the issue is with MP3 decoding or playback. The MP3 files themselves play fine in a native player.
2. With the first demo, Wine complained about missing 32bit gstreamer plugins 'good'. After I installed that, the first demo crashed in the menu. The second demo didn't have this crash.
When I found that the non-playing files were MP3 files, I tried to install a 32bit gstreamer plugin for MP3 (it's not part of 'good' plugins).
I was hit by the incompatibility of 32bit gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad on my 64bit debian system. I installed gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 instead. It did fix the crash in the first demo, and music/speech started to work.
→ The issue is fixed for the first demo by installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-good and gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 packages.
I confirm the second demo still doesn't play MP3 music/speech.
