[…] [libraries] will load their own dependencies in a way we cannot control.The biggest problem is that OpenAL and SDL try to dlopen libasound, and on some machines, libasound doesn’t work with our binaries. On others, it can actually crash the whole game due to incompatibilities. This is a common issue when dealing with unknown system configurations when sending out a binary-only product into the world.“
