Fixed bug #698 Hans de Goede 2009-02-13 01:10:52 PST Since the new "glitch free" version of pulseaudio (used in Fedora 10 amongst others), the sound of SDL using apps (like a simple playmus call) has been crackling. While looking in to fixing this I noticed that the current pulseaudio code in SDL uses pa_simple. However pa_simple uses a thread to pump pulseaudio events and ipc, given that SDL already has its own thread for audio handling this is clearly suboptimal, leading to unnecessary context switching IPC, etc. Also pa_simple does not allow one to implement the WaitAudio() callback for SDL audiodrivers properly. Given that my work is mostly a rewrite (although some original pieces remain) I'm attaching the new .c and .h file, as that is easier to review then the huge diff. Let me know if you also want the diff. This new version has the following features: -no longer use an additional thread next to the SDL sound thread -do not crackle with glitch free audio -when used with a newer pulse, which does glitch free audio, the total latency is the same as with the alsa driver -proper WaitAudio() implementation, saving another mixlen worth of latency -adds a WaitDone() implementation This patch has been written in consultancy with Lennart Poetering (the pulseaudio author) and has been reviewed by him for correct use of the pa API.

/* 
  An SDL_QUITEVENT is generated when the user tries to close the application
  window.  If it is ignored or filtered out, the window will remain open.
  If it is not ignored or filtered, it is queued normally and the window
  is allowed to close.  When the window is closed, screen updates will 
  complete, but have no effect.

  SDL_Init() installs signal handlers for SIGINT (keyboard interrupt)
  and SIGTERM (system termination request), if handlers do not already
  exist, that generate SDL_QUITEVENT events as well.  There is no way
  to determine the cause of an SDL_QUITEVENT, but setting a signal
  handler in your application will override the default generation of
  quit events for that signal.
