[pulseaudio-discuss] module-combine causes wine apps sound to crash [WAS: Latency control for wine ALSA emulation?]

2010-12-01 Thread Ng Oon-Ee
So after more testing, I figured out my automatic load-module
module-combine was causing the problem in this mail below.

The same does not occur when running on the sound card itself directly.
Is there any equivalent to tsched=0 for module-combine?

  Just recently I noticed my wine games weren't outputting sound. After

  I refer to [1] and [2] where Colin says this would be due to the
  reduction in latency. One workaround to this is tsched=0, but I haven't
  needed that before for ages.
  
  I'm on pulseaudio 0.9.22, just upgraded, also just upgraded wine to
  1.3.8. However I can't seem to find a combination of downgraded packages
  (0.9.21 and 1.3.6 respectively, which used to work) which can make
  things work without pavucontrol again. Could this be affected by for
  example lib32-alsa-lib or alsa-lib or alsa-utils (lib32-alsa-utils as
  well)?
  
  I'd rather not hardcode tsched=0 because I'm on a laptop =). Please let
  me know what other things I can do to debug, would a log be helpful
  (since the issue is pretty certainly the latency control), or should I
  get a wine log instead. That would probably be a waste of time since
  winealsa isn't maintained currently I believe.

Not that I'm aware of... maybe requires someone to give module-combine
some love? I've had issues with it crashing things long ago and not
really seen much in the way of fixes for it in the past little while, so
they could easily still be lurking there.
