Here are patches for SDL12 and SDL_mixer for 4 or 6 channel surround sound on Linux using the Alsa driver. To use them, naturally you need a sound card that will do 4 or 6 channels and probably also a recent version of the Alsa drivers and library. Since the only SDL output driver that knows about surround sound is the Alsa driver, you���ll want to choose it, using: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa There are no syntactic changes to the programming API. No new library calls, no differences in arguments. There are two semantic changes: (1) For library calls with number of channels as an argument, formerly you could use only 1 or 2 for the number of channels. Now you can also use 4 or 6. (2) The two "left" and "right" arguments to Mix_SetPanning, for the case of 4 or 6 channels, no longer simply control the volumes of the left and right channels. Now the "left" argument is converted to an angle and Mix_SetPosition is called, and the "right" argu- ment is ignored. With two exceptions, so far as I know, the modified SDL12 and SDL_mixer work the same way as the original versions, when opened for 1 or 2 channel output. The two exceptions are bugs which I fixed. Well, the first, anyway, is a bug for sure. When rate conversions up or down by a factor of two are applied (in src/audio/SDL_audiocvt.c), streams with different numbers of channels (that is, mono and stereo) are treated the same way: either each sample is copied or every other sample is omitted. This is ok for mono, but for stereo, it is frames that should be copied or omitted, where by "frame" I mean a portion of the stream containing one sample for each channel. (In the SDL source, confusingly, sometimes frames are called "samples".) So for these rate conversions, stereo streams have to be treated differently, and they are, in my modified version. The other problem that might be characterized as a bug arises when SDL_mixer is passed a multichannel chunk which does not have an integral number of frames. Due to the way the effect_position code loops over frames, when the chunk ends with a partial frame, memory outside the chunk buffer will be accessed. In the case of stereo, it���s possible that because malloc may give more memory than requested, this potential problem never actually causes a segment fault. I don���t know. For 6 channel chunks, I do know, and it does cause segment faults. If SDL_mixer is passed defective chunks and this causes a segment fault, arguably, that���s not a bug in SDL_mixer. Still, whether or not it counts as a bug, it���s easy to protect against, so why not? I added code in mixer.c to discard any partial frame at the end of a chunk. Then what about when SDL or SDL_mixer is opened for 4 or 6 chan- nel output? What happens with the parts of the current library designed for stereo? I don���t know whether I���ve covered all the bases, but I���ve tried: (1) For playing 2 channel waves, or other cases where SDL knows it has to match up a 2 channel source with a 4 or 6 channel output, I���ve added code in SDL_audiocvt.c to make the necessary conversions. (2) For playing midis using timidity, I���ve converted timidity to do 4 or 6 channel output, upon request. (3) For playing mods using mikmod, I put ad hoc code in music.c to convert the stereo output that mikmod produces to 4 or 6 chan- nels. Obviously it would be better to change the mikmod code to mix down into 4 or 6 channels, but I have a hard time following the code in mikmod, so I didn���t do that. (4) For playing mp3s, I put ad hoc code in smpeg to copy channels in the case when 4 or 6 channel output is needed. (5) There seems to be no problem with .ogg files - stereo .oggs can be up converted as .wavs are. (6) The effect_position code in SDL_mixer is now generalized to in- clude the cases of 4 and 6 channel streams. I���ve done a very limited amount of compatibility testing for some of the games using SDL I happen to have. For details, see the file TESTS. I���ve put into a separate archive, Surround-SDL-testfiles.tgz, a couple of 6 channel wave files for testing and a 6 channel ogg file. If you have the right hardware and version of Alsa, you should be able to play the wave files with the Alsa utility aplay (and hear all channels, except maybe lfe, for chan-id.wav, since it���s rather faint). Don���t expect aplay to give good sound, though. There���s something wrong with the current version of aplay. The canyon.ogg file is to test loading of 6 channel oggs. After patching and compiling, you can play it with playmus. (My version of ogg123 will not play it, and I had to patch mplayer to get it to play 6 channel oggs.)

/*
	On 680x0 machines, we just use Microseconds().
	
	On PowerPC machines, we try several methods:
	  * DriverServicesLib is available on all PCI PowerMacs, and perhaps
	    some NuBus PowerMacs. If it is, we use UpTime() : Overhead = 2.1 µsec.
	  * The PowerPC 601 has a built-in "real time clock" RTC, and we fall
	    back to that, accessing it directly from asm. Overhead = 1.3 µsec.
	  * Later PowerPCs have an accurate "time base register" TBR, and we 
	    fall back to that, access it from PowerPC asm. Overhead = 1.3 µsec.
	  * We can also try Microseconds() which is emulated : Overhead = 36 µsec.

	On PowerPC machines, we avoid the following:
	  * OpenTransport is available on all PCI and some NuBus PowerMacs, but it
	    uses UpTime() if available and falls back to Microseconds() otherwise.
	  * InputSprocket is available on many PowerMacs, but again it uses
	    UpTime() if available and falls back to Microseconds() otherwise.

	Another PowerPC note: certain configurations, especially 3rd party upgrade
	cards, may return inaccurate timings for the CPU or memory bus -- causing
	skew in various system routines (up to 20% drift!). The VIA chip is very
	accurate, and it's the basis for the Time Manager and Microseconds().
	Unfortunately, it's also very slow because the MacOS has to (a) switch to
	68K and (b) poll for a VIA event.
	
	We compensate for the drift by calibrating a floating point scale factor
	between our fast method and the accurate timer at startup, then convert
	each sample quickly on the fly. I'd rather not have the initialization 
	overhead -- but it's simply necessary for accurate timing. You can drop
	it down to 30 ticks if you prefer, but that's as low as I'd recommend.

	Under MacOS 9, "new world" Macs (iMacs, B+W G3s and G+W G4s) have a native
	Time Manager implementation: UpTime(), Microseconds(), and TickCount() are
	all based on the same underlying counter. This makes it silly to calibrate
	UpTime() against TickCount(). We now check for this feature using Gestalt(),
	and skip the whole calibration step if possible.
