Bug 149750 – quake2-icculus-0.16.1 produces alsa buffer underrun or seg fault

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrew Stimpson 2006-10-01 10:17:26 UTC]

If I run quake2 with no .quake2 directory, it will run with no working sound (or rather, the sound of a buffer underrun: a split second sample repeated over and over).  If I try to run it again without first deleting the .quake2 directory, it seg faults.

I've tried with and without the qmax and sdl USE flags, and I even compiled with the more conservative CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -msse2 -pipe".  With this last setting, I ran it in gdb, and produced the atttached backtrace.

See bug #110374. Or just use qudos or kmquake2 (bug #140121).

The alsa USE flag for quake2-icculus should probably be removed - does it ever work for anybody?

it doesn't work for me; quake2-icculus-0.16.1 is affected by buffer underruns and just makes a horrible noise, and

quake2-icculus-0.16.1-r1  USE="X alsa demo ipv6 opengl qmax rogue sdl xatrix -aalib -arts -cdinstall -dedicated -joystick -svga"

just has no sound at all, but writes things like

"
------- sound initialization -------
Cmd_AddCommand: play already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: stopsound already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundlist already defined
Cmd_AddCommand: soundinfo already defined
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp
ALSA snd error, cannot open device /dev/dsp (No such file or directory)
"

to the console. With "-alsa" it seems to work very well, so i think that the flag should indeed be dropped.
