Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] Audio Detection Bug
When using the OSS commercial drivers under Solaris 10, SDL will not
properly initialise OSS audio support (dsp) if /dev/sound exists.
Under Solaris (as far as I understand) /dev/sound is provided as a
means of accessing a BSD style audio device, not the OSS device.
SDL assumes that if /dev/sound exists, then it must be running on a
Linux 2.4 system and should make the dsp device path /dev/sound/dsp.
This is wrong. When using the OSS commercial drivers under Solaris,
the dsp device is always referenced as /dev/dsp normally.
My proposed fix is to stat the dsp device in /dev/sound to make sure
it exists, before assuming /dev/sound/dsp as the audio device:

I'm sure there may be a better way to do it, but the above patch is
what worked for me.

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 1.2 --- http://www.libsdl.org/ This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML, Objective C, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby. The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS, but these are not officially supported. This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library. The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html" The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. Frequently asked questions are answered online: http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related issues, you can join the developers mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy!
