HI all,
In light of all the trouble people are having with "resync" messages,
I'm thinking about making "-noresync" the default, at least when running
stereo. The "resync" checking is useful when it works, but it seems not to
work a lot of the time...
I've tried to recreate Guenter's problem with abstractions and "netreceive"...
I couldn't find any problems yet. I tried both "netreceive" and an abstraction
in the same patch, and also a "netreceive" inside an abstraction, no problems.
The next step would be for Guenter to send me the patch he's running that
fails...
Finally, I tried for a while to get MIDI input with an emu10k1 card
(SB Live; although I expect to see the same behavior for the cheaper
"PCI 512". Note that "PCI 128 has a different, older chip and does not have
this problem. It seems that when you're using the emu10k1 driver, select()
doesn't report available incoming MIDI bytes, so Wini's s_linux_midi_io
code never realizes that there's data to read.
This is all under OSS. I think the next step would be to make a bug report
but I can't figure out whether to send to Creative or to whomever provides
the OSS audio drivers in teh Linux kernel.
cheers
Miller
