--- Comment #14 from Andrew Eikum aeikum@codeweavers.com 2012-02-01 14:00:26 CST --- I'm able to reproduce this (all three of those games have demos on Steam, and all three work fine in ALSA and OSS before the decouple patch), but I'm really confused. I see the audio playing correctly (or it looks correct) from the levels widgets in ossxmix. But, I don't hear anything through the speakers. It's getting the audio data, but not playing it.
I tried dumping O_NONBLOCK to no effect. Calling SETTRIGGER to enable output did nothing. As far as I can tell, the output device isn't opened twice while writing, so it seems like that shouldn't be a problem.
So, why won't it play our data through the speakers?
