Comment 2 for bug 594461

I've confirmed this behaviour - starting the game with music enabled causes this for me (on AMD-64).

Starting from a terminal with the "-nomidi" flag does not cause this behaviour for me.

the -nomidi flag has been a long-time recommendation for avoiding this on linux from upstream - According to the release notes for 101.0 ( http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=1205.0 ),

"disabling sound and midi will be now saved and will disable them completely to avoid the SDL_mixer troubles"
