--- Comment #35 from Martin Jürgens martin@gamesplace.info 2008-07-16 17:44:45 --- Some information by Maarten about the patches:
They break alsa in some cases, the real problem is in pulseaudio's alsa wrapper plugin somewhere, it won't start playback as soon as data is queued, the first patch might be correct, but the second patch will increase latency in directsound by 40 ms which is an awful lot.
I've sort of looked into the pulseaudio alsa plugin, but couldn't quickly find the real problem there, I might try again later.
