Greetings,
In Flightgear 2.0 and CVS on Gentoo linux, ATIS transmissions were not
working properly.
Upon examining the code, I noticed that ATIS was initialized in the
fgIdleFunction with all the other subsystems, yet fgInitSoundManager() isn't
called until inside the main loop. Since ATIS is setup before OpenAL, when
ATIS attempts to load the default.wav file, it fails when it hits the
if(!_working) trap in the audio load function.
I have worked around this problem by spamming the #ifdef
ENABLE_AUDIO_SUPPORT block of code from the main loop into main.cxx just
before fgOSMainLoop(); is called. This init's OpenAL before the other
subsystems.
I'm aware that this is an awful and piggy solution and am willing to
write a proper patch, but I don't understand how sound init is supposed to
work, where, and when.
Hope this helps someone, I've seen s few unresolved reports of this
issue
around on the 'net.
Cheers,
Zeb McClure
