Description Christoph Terhechte 2004-04-01 03:04:25 UTC

I've had to set music_enabled to false in .tuxracer/options because tuxracer's music is terribly distorted to the point where you don't recognize it's music at all.

This happens with all twelve possible combinations of audio_freq_mode (0/1/2), audio_format_mode (0/1) and audio_stereo (true/false). As the noise sounds different with different combinations, I suspect something might be wrong not with tuxracer but with alsa's OSS emulation (tuxracer uses /dev/dsp).

On the other hand, sox' play command (which also uses alsa's OSS emulation) perfectly plays audio files from the $KDEDIR/share/sounds directory.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. tuxracer

Actual Results:  
Terrible noise made me quit tuxracer in no time.


Expected Results:  
Please my ears and let me enjoy a game or two.

This is actually a bug in SDL.  Mandrake has already posted a bugfix, but didn't tell us what they did to fix it (10.0 release notes for beta 2).  Look around here, someone said they posted bug fixes for Gentoo.
