[xine-devel] Audio out for OS/2 question

[Darwin O'C. <doc...@re...>]

First I'd like to mention I've releases a preliminary verion my xine 
0.9.8 port to OS/2. Perhaps it would be good to add it to the links 
section of the xine webpage. The location is:

I've got the audio out working using OS/2's high performance audio 
layer, DART. DART uses a circular buffer of limited size to store the 
audio before it is played by the sound card. When testing an mp3 I found 
that xine keeps dilivering audio data without end and soon over writes 
the buffer. I've handled this by setting up a semaphore so that the 
write_data function does not return until there is a buffer available 
for the data. It seems to be working well, but is this the best way to 
handle it, or is there some way to prevent xine from overflowing the buffer?
