Re: [Tuxnes-devel] Sound and esd

[Paul Z. <pe...@tr...>]

Hey,
Are you using the snapshot or the release version?
What game were you playing (so I can fix it if it still happens with
the snapshot)?

I updated the sound queue function so it would be more accurate with
regards to internal values and reading from the sound registers.
Unfortunately I didn't notice a performance hit until after the release
when I was playing MegaMan 2 (Quick Man Stage).
There is a change in CVS that should remove the problem with the
most-used audio channels - the DMC still needs the progressive
update because it's possible it can trigger an interrupt when it finishes
playing the audio.

I play on a F00F hampered P150 laptop (Debian Woody)
and it's usable at high audio rates (44Khz/8bit 22Khz/16 bit, my laptop
has problems at 44Khz/16bit that my desktop doesn't..)

I haven't used esd with it (don't like the additional overhead and it
tends to make audio sound tinny to me).

Thanks,
  Paul
