Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:14:19 -0700 Eric Wing Workaround for terrible iOS 5.0 regression bug in Apple's OpenAL implementation with regards to resetting streaming sources. The fix uses a version check to determine if the workaround is employed. Once Apple fixes the problem, an upper bounds version check should be added.
Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:48:23 -0700 Eric Wing Fixed bug with seeking channels with predecoded samples. The OpenAL 1.1 spec specifies that a playing source should automatically jump when already playing. The code was unnecessarily recalling alPlaySource again which is not necessarily the correct thing to do. I think the previous code is another remnant of the Open 1.0 era. Also fixed bugs in the return codes for seek and rewind. For single channels, the return code was 0 channels processed in ALmixer which resulted in returning false to Lua. The implementation now should return 1/true for single channels, but 0/false for no channels. Errors will return -1/false.
Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:44:08 -0700 Eric Wing Workaround: There is a terrible OpenAL regression bug in iOS 5 dealing with streaming sources. alSourcei(source_id, AL_BUFFER, AL_NONE); fails to clear queued buffer queues on a streaming source. The workaround involves manually dequeuing the individual buffers before calling alSourcei(source_id, AL_BUFFER, AL_NONE);. But there is an additional race condition bug where the unqueue fails to take, so the included workaround keeps looping until the buffers finally report as cleared.
