[Bug 28591] New: Audio static bursts - HEAD 2011:10:05

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28591

Bug #: 28591
           Summary: Audio static bursts - HEAD 2011:10:05
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

HEAD - built from sources updated today 2011:10:05

Builds OK, No hangs on make test. Installed to $HOME directory.
This is my daily routine...

Problem: Using the newly installed version to run Guild Wars, the audio track
includes loud static bursts while playing the background music.  This is new
since yesterday (or maybe the day before).

Note: The immediately preceding version has a problem with a 'stutter' in the
music track.

Please post the results of your regression testing.

There was a short list of 'CVS' patches from PM yesterday. git update, build,
and reinstalled per usual procedure. Guild Wars still has loud static on the
music track making it unplayable. I _think_ the bursts were shorter this time,
but there really should not be any static bursts at all.

Regression test results are the audio from the game coming out of the speakers.
They are not in a form that is 'postable'.

http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting claims otherwise.

You are using the language too loosely.  Neither the _regression_ nor the
regression _test_itself is not postable. What you probably want is the log of
the bisection search on the regression. I'll need to set up a script to do
that. That should not take too long to do...

Thank you for the pointer to the bisect procedure.

Please stop playing words, you were asked about "the results of your regression
testing".

_Not_ 'playing words'. What you asked for was unclear. Ask for what you really
want: in this case 'which patch caused this?'.

Also, the game is known to use 'directx' so the component is either
'directx-dsound' or 'directx-dmusic'. From discussions on the game's forum,
including comments by the game's developers, dsound is the more likely culprit.

The regression appears in HEAD, not the tagged revision. You might want to add
'HEAD' as one of the Version alternatives.

Bisect test build is in progress as I write this... First bisection failed.
Second bisection is now in progress...

There is no need to guess the component, 'wine --version' reports what
the Version field is supposed to be set to.
