Commercial-OSS-on-Solaris patch... --ryan. Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 23:06:40 -0500 From: Shawn Walker <binarycrusader@gmail.com> To: sdl@libsdl.org 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: http://icculus.org/~eviltypeguy/SDL_audiodev.patch I'm sure there may be a better way to do it, but the above patch is what worked for me. --=20 Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader@gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
