I cannot reproduce the crash. I confess I don't own the original CD and the ISO come from archive.org, but once I delete the bundled libSDL & libSDL_mixer , I don't have the slightest problem playing that old game with sdl12-compat+sdl2-compat (god, what a jump back in time...)

FYI, removing the bundled libSDL_mixer is important, there was a data alignment bug in the original mixer that might be causing this crash.

actually tux racer 1.1 uses directsound and smpeg, no sdl mixer

Update: i enabled the disable_audio option and it worked, but theres no audio...
