OpenTTD hangs when started on 32 bits Windows [FS#4083]
Under some circumstances OpenTTD might hang for hours on the
initialisation of the music driver. The exact circumstances are
unknown except that it is the "dmusic" music driver that has the
problem and that the "win32" music driver does not.
As a result using the "win32" music driver will work around this
issue.
As the exact circumstances are unknown, and the obvious
configuration settings related to the music driver are at their
default we are not able to detect this failure, except when Windows'
music initialisation function returns after several hours and then
there is no point in switching the music driver anymore.
The reason we do not use the "win32" music driver as default are
described in the "Long delay between switching music/song" section
of this document.
