No sound - please add Pipewire when building AppImage.

Please fill out the sections below.

Collect the AppImage debug log (required)

1. Run the AppImage with debug enabled:

   APPIMAGE_DEBUG=1 ./MyApp.AppImage

   • The AppImage will create a debug log automatically and will print the path to that log file in the terminal output.
   • Attach that file to this issue.

Make sure to ping the maintainer of the repository when making the bug report

• Often times we miss emails because not all repositories are watched automatically after being made, so please ping the maintainer of the repository when making the issue. Simply add @name-of-maintainer.

Checklist

• I ran the AppImage with APPIMAGE_DEBUG=1 environment variable set.
• I attached the debug log produced by the AppImage.
• I pinged the maintainer of the repository.

Problem:
There are no sound for AppImage because this use it's using ALSA.
Please add pipewire (for audio), fluidsynth and soundfont-fluid to the package (for music).

hi, already added pipewire, sound effects play (for me it was already playing without pipewire), but no music, did you tried launching with SDL_SOUNDFONTS=/usr/share/soundfonts/somesoundfont.sf2 file?

please try https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/OpenTTD-AppImage/releases/tag/15.3-1%402026-09-02_1788317100
music should work now

Quite the plot twist this app uses libfluidsynth directly instead of via SDL.
