Ryujinx cannot boot with `libsndio` 1.8.0

Bug Report

What’s the issue you encountered?

When you attempt to launch Ryujinx with the latest version of libsndio (1.8.0), it fails to load. This is because it looks for libsndio.so.6, which was renamed to libsndio.so.7 with the upgrade from 1.7.0 -> 1.8.0.

To fix this, you can symlink libsndio.so.7 to libsndio.so.6, but this obviously is a rather hacky solution. For testing purposes I’ve tried this, and everything does seem to fuction as intended.

I think it would be nice if Ryujinx could detect either version of libsndio, to ensure comatibility.

How can the issue be reproduced?

Install the latest version of libsdio, and append it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Make sure to remove any outdated version from the environment).

Afterwards, attempt to launch Ryujinx.

The related issue is https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/2531

Since we use SDL for input backend as default, we use it for audio too, and since the initialization fail because of an old SDL bug, that why you can’t launch Ryujinx, but as I said, it’s not a Ryujinx issue there… in that way I close this issue. Thanks for the report, maybe that could help someone else!

Are you sure the file is named libsndio.so.7 and not libsndio.so.7.0 or libsndio.so.7.1 ?

Yes, though libsndio.so.7.1 also exists.

~ > ls /nix/store/1p55q3i2l3zq0gvwq9351q6llbfyl7ym-sndio-1.8.0/lib
libsndio.so  libsndio.so.7  libsndio.so.7.1  pkgconfig

This is handled by SDL not by Ryujinx since you have selected SDL backend, it’s not an issue from our LibSoundIO backend.

I haven’t selected the SDL backend though, the initalisation seems to get called unconditionally: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/blob/eb056218a13fa145adcc9ecafd166b1b1f2caccb/Ryujinx.SDL2.Common/SDL2Driver.cs#L28 https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/blob/eb056218a13fa145adcc9ecafd166b1b1f2caccb/Ryujinx.sln#L66

The only solution for now seems to be the symlink.

That’s annoying, I hope this can be fixed in upstream SDL soon than.
