Crashers are severity critical. I must add that this will probably closed when 0.8.0 will be out since oss backend is gone. Created attachment 18295 [details] [review] remove assert from oss playback I had this change locally, it workarounds it removing the assert. I haven't noticed anything wrong with this. 0.8 is out, oss is gone. People, This is a mistake in my opinion. IMHO, OSS 4 is out and is really much better than ALSA (kernel mode mixing, independent volume control for applications, ...). OSS 4 is widely used as sound system in Solaris, FreeBSD, Unixware and Linux. If you plan to make swfdec portable, keep OSS supported is a nice thing :) The problem (In reply to comment #4) > People, > This is a mistake in my opinion. > IMHO, OSS 4 is out and is really much better than ALSA (kernel mode mixing, > independent volume control for applications, ...). > OSS 4 is widely used as sound system in Solaris, FreeBSD, Unixware and Linux. I think if someone step up to ressurrect, improve and maintain oss audio backend it can be put back. I have tried to do this myself with the patches posted here and at bug 13772. And failed :( > If you plan to make swfdec portable, keep OSS supported is a nice thing :) There is a pulseaudio backend for that and other purposes. But i have to agree that pulseaudio could be a bit painful at the moment. But as you can see from bug 13772#c12 is the swfdec future. It's true that I can run pulseaudio on top of OSS. BTW, if I have time in the next week, I'll try to write a good OSS backend using the OSS 4 ioctl()'s (and, may be, just don't support the old dead OSS 3 API). Thank you all for the great swfdec :) |
