My game just crashed on MacOS when it tried to play a sound file using an external media player (mpg123). It said

EProcess : Failed to Fork process

Whenever I start this player process, I ensure that any open player processes get closed before, so I don't know where this comes from.

(Perhaps I should use SDL for sound output, too ... but then the console mode of the game wouldn't have sound anymore ...)

Why not? As far as I know, SDL_Mixer doesn't need SDL_Video to work

Oh. Well, this sounds good, at least.
