Prospects of an OpenAL audio driver...
by Nick Burns 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

I have started work on an openal driver for wine... So far I have playback and recording working (with minor issues) (for some reason the DSound HEL is unhappy with my driver) OpenAL seems to have enough functionality to do the job. Are there any problems with using OpenAL for such a purpose? - Nick

Feedback requested for Mac OSX x86 stack patch
by Nick Burns 08 Jun '06

(notes are at the top of the patch) I would like some feedback on my stack fix patch I do not know how it interacts with linux -- no access to a linux box This has been confirmed to fix numerous app issues (due to stack alignment) I am starting to think it would be better to have these options configured at config time -- e.g. If Mac OSX x86 -- then use mstackrealign + force_align_arg_pointer Any ideas/thoughts? - Nick

Feedback requested for Mac OSX x86 stack patch -- #2

Ok I have fixed up my Mac OSX stack patch a bit as per the feedback -- thanks much This only patches windef.h There still needs to be some solution for msvcrt AND any other api entry points that are not denoted with __stdcall or __cdecl or WINAPI or WINAPIV.... This means that Morrowwind (uses msvcrt:pow just cause) will crash on OSX atm (bad alignment) - Nick

Ok I fixed up my OpenAL driver as per the suggestions (thanks much) I am not sure how to use or test pkg-config (does that exist on Mac OSX?) The differences with the OpenAL driver patch... 1. It has a perty ChangeLog diff 2. configure.ac now checks for AL/al.h (which is where OpenAL should be) 3. dlls/Makefile.in should patch correctly now (I did not hand edit it this time -- still crossing fingers) 4. FIXME's -> ERR's for the legit OpenAL errs 5. alcCloseDevice in OpenAL 1.0 (no return value) in 1.1 it returns a boolean -- .: I dont check the boolean anymore -- meaning this error is now slient - Nick

I'm annoyed that .wine is inaccessible through KDE and Gnome apps. Not through the file manager, but often in various applications. It's not wine's fault per se that those apps lack a "show hidden folders" option, but it would be nice to make wine visible, as it contains useful stuff that you'll often mangle with. (I personally have a symlink from "wine" to ".wine"...) I do agree that there's too many applications dumping various .xxxxxx folders in my home directory. The least they could do is to put those files somewhere where they don't interfere with my user data, someplace sane like ~/Application Data/xxxxxx, or a more unixy ~/appdata/xxxxx... (Never cared much for hidden folders - they're a symptom that you're being too careless with your directory structure.)

P.S. Isn't it better to use pkg-config to check where the libs are located anyway? Leon

> AC_CHECK_HEADERS(\ >+ OpenAL/al.h \ >+ al/al.h \ > AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h \ > CoreAudio/CoreAudio.h \ > IOKit/IOKitLib.h \ Your patch checks for OpenAL headers only in these places. However my distro (Suse 10.1) puts openal headers to AL/ instead of al/ and so configure with the patch as-is doesn't find files on my system. Also patching dlls/makefile.in fails. Had to patch it manually. Leon

My first impressions: 1) Doesn't compile here: audio.c: In function ‘OpenAL_WaveClose’: audio.c:636: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be because alcCloseDevice() is declared here as void (my openal version is 1.0.20051129) 2) It'd be better to convert ALC errors from FIXMEs to ERRs. 3) You don't link the driver to openal somewhy (there's no -lopenal switch passed to gcc). Perhaps it's related to the configure.in hack I made, but I had to modify dlls/winmm/wineopenal/Makefile.in and add openal there too. 4) You check for al/al.h and OpenAL/al.h within the configure script but you include AL/al.h and OpenAL/al.h. This doesn't work on Linux, since Linux filesystems are case sensitive. Leon
