Patch
Worms Armageddon will display a dialog before beginning a training mission
(describing the tasks to be performed), or after a mission or training mission
(displaying the player's results). This dialog is accompanied with a sound,
which is streamed from a .wav file using DirectShow.
If the dialog is dismissed after the sound has stopped playing, the game
freezes.
The reason for the freeze appears to be as follows:
When the dialog is dismissed, the game will attempt to stop the sound, whether
it's still playing or not. Part of its procedure to stop the sound involves
pausing the graph (using IMediaControl::Pause()). After that, it calls
IMediaControl::GetState(INFINITE, ...), which locks up the game.
The freeze occurs in Wine's DSoundRender_GetState - it will wait indefinitely
for the state_change event to be signalled - which will never happen. The
reason for this seems to be that the intended implementation of
DSoundRender_Pause is to put the filter into an intermediary state, and
complete the transition when a media sample is received (in
DSoundRender_Receive). However, since the end of file has been reached, a new
sample is never received, and the filter get stuck into an intermediary state.
The attached patch seems to fix the problem at hand, but I'm not certain about
its correctness.
