Whoops... Kernel: 2.6.20-16-generic ALSA: 1.0.13 (and ALSA-OSS Bridge 1.0.12) Sound Card: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS (CA0106) - Although the problem is device independent SDL: 1.2.11 Pygame: 1.7.1release-4.1 (although any pygame that makes a call to pygame.mixer.init() explicitly or implicitly through pygame.init() will be enough to trigger the issue)
Like I say, it could have affected a lot of people, or it *could* just be me, but I'm just throwing it out there in case someone is banging their head against a wall wondering why their pygame app refuses to start up and gives no errors :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Paige Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 11:07 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pygame] [FYI] Pygame + Recent Linux Kernel Updates + ALSA On Tue, Jun 19, 2007 at 08:45:57AM -0400, Chris Ashurst wrote: > Not sure how many people this may have affected (if any at all), but if any > of you develop with pygame in a *nix environment and have recently performed > a kernel update and found pygame not getting anywhere past pygame.init(), > it's because of ALSA locking up whenever it is called by any software that > uses it. > > ...
