[Bug 21209] New: Ankh: speech output stops before end of sentence

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21209

Summary: Ankh: speech output stops before end of sentence
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.44.
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

commit 9c469e1a9487d81186642282de89048fc51c0864
Author: Maarten Lankhorst 
Date:   Sun Aug 19 23:52:19 2007 +0200
    dsound: Handle failing of IDsDriver_CreateSoundBuffer better.
prior to wine-0.9.44 causes Ankh's voice output to stop way before the end of
each sentence. Although it's a very old commit and the (structure of the) code
in dsound looks different now, behaviour has never changed since. The bug is
audible right from the intro movie.

Simultaneously, it causes the movie to stop intermittently (for ~1/2s, varying)
at the start of each audio sentence. Before that commit, movement was quite
fluid.
Perhaps the 1/2 second (sometimes more, sometimes randomly less) that is cut
from the end of the audio output corresponds with the motion break that occurs
before audio is started, as if audio output was hold back for a small and
random amount of time, then chopped?

Winecfg setting OSS HW, 22050Hz at 8bit; using Ubuntu Intrepid.
HW or emulation makes no difference. Same results with ALSA (in versions of
Wine newer than 0.9.44 where ALSA does not seem to initialize with Intrepid).
No PulseAudio.

+dsound,+wave,warn+heap log from Ankh prior to offending commit

The attached +dsound,+wave log from wine-0.9.43+git shows that both WARN/ERR
are produced, consecutively in dsound and waveoss, exactly once (at the start
of the programm; the anim plays much later).  Somehow I don't believe in the
heap corruption hypothesis from bug #11793 rather than in an alternate code
path that is now taken but does not work that well.
Very interestingly, wine-1.1.31 produces no such WARN in the log, although both
primary.c and wineoss/dsrender.c still contain the warning.  Yet the bug
remains in present versions of wine (blocked by bug #21185 since wine-1.1.35). 
 Does this support the alternative code path or the heap corruption hypothesis?
Hmm...

BTW, the music that plays at the beginning of the intro concurrently to the
voices performs without pauses.

I've tested now with and without WINEDEBUG=warn+heap in wine-1.1.31 plus
0.9.43+git upto as well as before this commit; nothing changed w.r.t. the bug
symptoms (3 versions, each test repeated twice for a total of 6 runs). 
Sometimes heap arena errors were mentioned, sometimes not.

+dsound,+wave,warn+heap log from Ankh at offending commit

Note the tenfold increase in uncompressed log size now coming from mixing
nothing during the long initialization phase.

Curiously, this is not an issue on MacOSX 10.5.8 with wine-1.1.36. The pauses
are so short that it's barely disturbing (like on Linux prior to wine-0.9.44). 
Yet the effect is still present on another machine with Ubuntu Linux.  Perhaps
the Mac's dual core avoids a dead-lock while the single core Linux machine
waits for something?
BTW, on Linux as well, in rare cases are the pauses very short (when wine+Ankh
is started anew). So there's indeed some randomness to the issue.

I am currently testing "Ankh" on Mandriva 2010.1 Spring Free with Wine 1.3.8.
The intro works fine but the screen goes black in the main game. The sound
output works fine though. I am on a single core Athon 2600 with a GeForce
FX5500 (Nvidia) using the 173.x driver.

The screen goes black is bug #21351, isn't it?

Still present with 1.3.17 on the single core Linux machine
- HW or emulation makes no difference
- nor does 44100 or 48000Hz in winecfg,
- nor MaxShadowSize=0 or -1 (not bug #19370)

Many progress were made or sound in wine (specially by you jorg ;) )

So can you test and report if the bug still occurs

Currently unusable in wine-1.4rc2 in Ubuntu Intrepid with Intel gfx.  The menu
screen flickers heavily as if constantly switching among 2 views, without menu
text. I see a few
err:d3d:context_bind_texture >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY (0x505) from
glBindTexture @ context.c / 1938

MacOS with nvidia gfx was not affected in comment #3, but not it aborts with a
runtime exception requester.

The audio/video cut off/stall bug is still present in wine-1.4rc4, exactly as
described in my initial comment.  The stalling of movement is very noticeable.

I could test that by setting:
Plugin=RenderSystem_Direct3D9
in bin/release/plugins.cfg, but that causes the black screen bug #21351 once
the adventure starts.  Bug #29975 is split from comment #9 about the inability
to instead use:
Plugin=RenderSystem_GL

FWIW, the bug was also present in wine-1.3.24.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.16 or newer) wine?
