[Bug 12286] New: regression: sound: first fragmented, now the ends are chopped off

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12286

Summary: regression: sound: first fragmented, now the ends are
                    chopped off
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.41.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Since 0.9.40 I am having problems with sound playback. The application is the
Arindal MMORPG-Client (http://www.arindal.com/), but it uses standard QuickTime
to play sound (installed QuickTime 7.2.0.240).

The first regression was introduced in 0.9.40. Before that, sound was playing
fine. With 0.9.40, sound would no longer be played continuously, but all the
sounds (in my case the sound effects of the game) were played fragmented and
choppy.

A git bisect shows that this is the problematic commit:
a7d6ed8ea65260f62f1762b05c496bee0944e6a1 is first bad commit
commit a7d6ed8ea65260f62f1762b05c496bee0944e6a1

dsound: Simplify mixing by removing remixing support, and fix its waveout
breakage.

Based on a patch by Peter Dons Tychsen.

The second regression (or partial fix of the first regression?) was introduced
in 0.9.41. Since then, sounds will play continuously again, but very often (not
always) the ends of the sound are chopped off (the last 0.2 seconds or
something like that), so that very short sounds are no longer played at all,
especially if many or multiple sounds are played in short succession. In
addition, sometimes fragments of the "missing" sound bits are played at a later
point, for example, when another sound starts playing.

Unfortunately, I cannot test whether this has been fixed after 0.9.50, since
Arindal will no longer run in current wine versions due to bug #11989.

Having found a workaround to bug #11989 I can now confirm that the current
situation which was introduced in 0.9.41 is still present in the current git
version.

Created an attachment (id=11757)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11757)
testcase, soundexample, +dsound log

Some more info:

sound_ok.wav: This is what it should sound like. Recorded with a pre-0.9.40
wine.
sound_buggy.wav: This it how it currently sounds. Recorded with a post-0.9.41
wine. The first sound is played correctly, but then the first fraction of that
sound is repeated. The second sound (and any following identical sounds) will
consist only of that fraction, not the complete sound.
sound_buggy.log: A log produced with the current git wine, the bug #11989
workaround, and +dsound, while the above double-sound was playing
2008.03.31_03.05.16.clMov: This is an ingame-movie of the two sounds. The movie
can be replayed using Arindal.exe ("Datei->Film abspielen") and will reproduce
the correct sound when using pre-0.9.40, and cut-off sounds when using
post-0.9.41. The sound fragmentation of 0.9.40 cannot be reproduced with it,
because for sufficiently short sounds the fragmentation effect results simply
in a (very short) bit of the end of the sound being chopped off.

Note that under heavy CPU load, the pre-0.9.40 version sounds will be cut-off
in a similar (if not identical) fashion as the post-0.9.41 sounds, while
throwing a message such as this:
0012:fixme:dsound:DSOUND_MixOne problem with underrun detection (mixlen=13604 <
primary_done=18784)

(In reply to comment #2)

Can confirm the problem still exists in wine 1.0rc3.
Does sound a bit less chopped off than in the recorded version, though.

No answer since more 2years and half. Probably fixed anyway.

The link in the bug description leads to a page that says "Unfortunately
Arindal has closed it's gates - the game doesn't exist anymore."

Marking abandoned.
