https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=394721 Summary: xmoto (and possible other SDL apps) audio broken on gnome installs Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wberrier@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: rodrigo@novell.com, cyberorg@opensuse.org, prusnak@novell.com Found By: --- xmoto uses SDL. Although gnome installs are going to be set up to route alsa through pulseaudio, xmoto has poor audio when run in this manner. (Some sdl apps work fine when doing this, ie: frozen-bubble) To fix this, SDL needs to be built with pulseaudio support. (Add libpulse-devel to BuildRequires, that's it). Then, we need to set the environment variable for gnome. SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse When doing this, xmoto audio sounds perfect. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Why is this a no go? sdl will still default to alsa/oss. It only tries pulse if it can't initialize alsa, oss, esd, or if the SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse env var is set. Is this the issue or is it something else? The only package requirement that it pulls in is: libpulse0-0.9.10-18 (the rpm is 142k) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But, there's a bug for this on x86_64. SDL is configured to dlopen libasound as well, but that only happens on i586. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It adds dynamic loading of libpulse-simple and fixes dynamic loading of libasound on x86_64. This means that the SDL package won't depend on libpulse0. If this is checked in, we also need to set: SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse somehow in the gnome session environment. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

FWIW, I tried the updated SDL, and I still get bad audio in xmoto and frozen-bubble :/

How does it compare to using the pulse alsa plugin? Did you set the SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse variable? (That isn't done automatically yet). Also, try the settings from #395275 to see if that helps (although it's mostly for latency). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

More or less same quality (ie, equally bad).

...

Yep.

I wouldn't do it gnome specific, but pulseaudio specifc. E.g. install /etc/profile.d/pulseaudio.*

Not sure it's the best thing to do -- if I install both GNOME & KDE, I want the sound in xmoto even in KDE.
