[Bug 22498] New: Stuttering sound - winealsa.drv regression?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22498

Summary: Stuttering sound - winealsa.drv regression?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.43
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

here's a mail i sent more than a year ago to the person who introduced what
seems like a regression to me. i don't remember the details anymore, but the
bug - stuttering when playing HoMM3 - is still there (just verified with
1.1.43).

---
the regression manifests itself as rather annoying audio skipping and
stuttering.
having spent some time tracing and looking at the code, i believe that the
problem
was introduced by this change to dlls/winealsa.drv/waveout.c made on Oct 4:

http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=717df5b2972b3cb998ca5a...

specifically, this line

+        wwo->dwPlayedTotal += lpWaveHdr->reserved - wwo->dwPlayedTotal;

advances the dwPlayedTotal watermark when i believe it shouldn't.
fundamentally, only DSP can report how much has been played, updating this
pointer after reporting
that a sample has been played makes no sense. DSP has reported that it has
played
up to a certain point that covers the sample in question, we are reporting this
back and removing the sample.
we should *not* be changing the value DSP sent us.

i don't know what was the specific issue you were addressing with the patch in
question,
but i'd like you to take one more look at it, because removing this one line
fixes skipping and stuttering for me.

does not apply cleanly:

You will have to remove the line that says "ALSA_WaveInit();" otherwise bad
things might occur.

it seem that you changed the period time and buffer time in your waveout.c

rate = 10000;
    snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(wwo->pcm, hw_params, &rate, NULL);
    rate = 100000;
    snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near(wwo->pcm, hw_params, &rate, NULL);

what kind of multiple waveopens are you trying to support ?

1) open sound card A , B or C ?
2) open multiple subdevices of hardware mixing sound card A ?

do alsa-pulse plugin allow wine to open two pulse sessions ?

yes, you are expecting 4 periods per buffer in vodTick but 10 periods per
buffer

static void CALLBACK wodTick(UINT id, UINT msg, DWORD_PTR dwUser,

snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size(cur->hw_params, &buflen);
            snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(cur->hw_params, &psize, NULL);
            if (buflen > 4 * psize)
                buflen = 4 * psize;

> Also, multiple waveopens to the same device

if you are implementing for hardware mixing or multistreaming of HDA

http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm

Intel HD Audio features multi-streaming capabilities that give users the
ability to send two or more different audio streams to different locations at
the same time, from the same PC.

The hardware mixing sound cards support a fixed number of voices and there
should be voice management and pulseaudio also has limit on the number of
client connections too.

not sure that it is regression ,

I don't understand your intention , can you explain ?

how about those sound cards which only support 2 periods per buffer

your waveout.c try to configure about 10 periods , but modTick use 4 periods
when periods > 4

if the game use dsound , using the new waveout.c cannot fix your problem and
only change in dsoutput.c

well, believe it or not, it does. the bug is rather obvious in the game, i have
no problem determining whether it is present or not.

there are 3 ways of fixing it:

1) switching to OSS audio in winecfg.
2) using old waveout with dwPlayedTotal fix.
3) using new waveout by Maarten.

As you can see , the latency of oss emulation is much lower than the alsa
driver

Are you using dmix ?

aplay -v -D default any.wav

The major problem of winealsa.drv is waveout/wavein/dsoutput/capture ignore any
error returned by alsa-lib functions

that may or may not be responsible for slight latency between action and sound
effect in the game but that's actually not what i'm complaining about here.
> Are you using dmix ?

not a slightest idea :) this is Ubuntu 10.04, FWIW. but the problem was
originally found on 9.04. there is nothing in ~/.asoundrc.
> aplay -v -D default any.wav

had to lame --decode an mp3 to get a reasonable test wav file.
sound is playing fine, no problems:

what are you looking for, anyway? have you looked at what my fix does?
i didn't find it just by chance, i spent some time digging up and remember that
the problem with the logic was quite obvious at the time.

you problem is using alsa-pulse plugin instead of dmix

you are using pulseaudio ( alsa-pulse plugin ) which accept the period
time/buffer time requested by wine but PA server is running at

i am using a plain vanilla install of Ubuntu, a fairly popular distro, with no
special tweaks made to the sound subsystem and everything else working fine.
if all other applications are able to deal with this, so should Wine, shouldn't
it?

if you have studied my_waveout.c or the latest waveout.c in git

that is almost a complete rewrite of winealsa.drv

Previously I can run winmm_test/dsound_test without any underrun for my two
sound card , now I get underrun at the end

It is not easy to find out which part of the patch causing the underrun problem

ok, it's up to you guys to figure out unittests and such.
all i can say is that there is a problem now, it's a problem with Wine (and not
my mixer setup which works just fine), we have two possible solutions here and
i'll be happy if either of them is adopted in some form.
let me know if you'd like me to test more patches against HoMM3.

actually those tests ( winmm_test and dsound_test ) only play silence , it is
impossible to know any distortion or shuttering occur

I have doubt about the usefullness of those tests especially when the code
ignore any error returned from those alsa-lib functions

The patch is for winealsa.drv , so it does not has any relationship with

what kind of PCM device ? since users can define their own "default" device

1) hw:0,0
2) plughw:0,0
3) dmix:0 
4) pulse

For hw:0,0 and plughw:0,0 , only those hardwaremixing sound with multiple
subdevices ( snd_pcm_info_get_sudevice_count() > 0 ) support multiple open

but need to add IDsDriverBufferImpl *secondary[16] for each hardware secondary
buffer ( ALSA subdevice )

struct IDsDriverImpl
{
    /* IUnknown fields */
    const IDsDriverVtbl *lpVtbl;
    LONG ref;

/* IDsDriverImpl fields */
    IDsDriverBufferImpl* primary;
    UINT wDevID;

But ALSA_WodNumDevs is computed in ALSA_waveinit() , so the waveout_count is
the number of pcm devices in your system

Removing the ALSA_waveinit() imply the driver cannot provide a correct
waveoutcaps to the application since waveoutcaps is computed in
ALSA_ComputeCaps() inside ALSA_waveinit()

This mean that you must configure ALSA to have one sound card with
playback/capture device to test your patch

static DWORD wodInit(void) {
    DWORD i = 0;
    ALSA_WaveInit();
    waveout_count = ALSA_WodNumDevs;

when you have used up the subdevices of hardware mixing sound card,
MMSYSERR_NOTENABLED seem not a correct error

err = snd_pcm_open(&wwo->pcm, WOutDev[dev->devid].pcmname,
SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, SND_PCM_NONBLOCK);
    if (err < 0) {
        FIXME("Could not open sound device: %s\n", snd_strerror(err));
        ret = MMSYSERR_NOTENABLED;
        goto error;
    }

The problem in your waveout.c

waveout_count = ALSA_WodNumDevs;

ALSA_WodNumDevs is the total numbers of playback device 0 of alsa sound cards

So you need at least two sound cards so that waveout_count > 1 for your
waveout.c to allow multiple open

if AutoScanDevices="Y", this will be the number of all playback devices (
including spdif, hdmi, ...) of alsa sound cards

for hardware mixing sound cards, the therotical maximum number is the value
returned by snd_pcm_info_get_subdevice_count();

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Live [SBLive! Platinum [CT4760P]], device 0: emu10k1 [ADC
Capture/Standard PCM Playback]
  Subdevices: 32/32

however the practical number can be reduced when the other application is using
the WaveTable Synth

you can try waveout.c in bug#22880  comment#4

which limit the maximum number of waveoutopen to 16

Allow multiple waveoutopen to the same device is depend on the result of
snd_pcm_open

Not sure wine can open "plug:dmix" or "pulse" device how many times ?

Is this problem still reproducible in wine 1.4-rc4?

How about using the demo?

I can not find any sound problem in wine for heroes 3 shadow of death since
wine version 1.2 or higher.

Tested under kubuntu 10.11 with the following wine versions : 1.2 - 1.3 -
1.4rc6

Karte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
  Sub-Geräte: 1/1
  Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
Karte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], Gerät 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
  Sub-Geräte: 1/1
  Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0

Analog Sound was tested, not digital.

Reported fixed. waveout.c no longer exists apparently.
