Editors Note: The original patch was modified to use SDL_Delay() instead of
nanosleep because nanosleep may not be portable to all systems
using SDL with the ALSA backend. This may be a moot point with
the switch to blocking writes anyway...

Subject: [SDL] Bug#225252: [PATCH] ALSA fixes
Package: libsdl1.2debian-all
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
For SDL 1.2.6, the ALSA backend was changed to call snd_pcm_open() with
SND_PCM_NONBLOCK. That's a good idea per se, however, it causes high CPU
usage, interrupted sound and stuttering in some games here. Taking a nanosleep
whenever snd_pcm_writei() returns -EAGAIN fixes this, but I think it's more
efficient to use blocking mode for the actual sound playback. Feedback from the
SDL and ALSA lists appreciated.
The patch also fixes the default ALSA device to be used.

============================================================================== Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC ============================================================================== These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment: http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/ CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory. ============================================================================== I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution) First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the SDL directory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory. Build "SDL" (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog) If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory. ============================================================================== II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs: First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Start MPW Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory. Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin". Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run! ============================================================================== III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs: Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory and modify it to match the sources in the demo. ============================================================================== IV. Enjoy! :) If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: sdl-request@libsdl.org and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you can use the web interface: http://www.libsdl.org/mailman/listinfo/sdl ==============================================================================
