I faced this problem a couple of days ago and did some investigation about it, here are my conclusions: 1- This bug has nothing to do with ogg or vorbis 2- It only happens when there's no ~/.openalrc(I haven't tried anything with /etc/openalrc), creating an empty ~/.openalrc avoids any problem.
I developed a small minimal program with only openal and alut as dependencies to reproduce it, here's how to reproduce the bug: - Make sure you have no ~/.openalrc - Use play, aplay or paplay to listen to how /usr/share/sounds/login.wav sounds when played correctly. - Run the attached program and you'll hear significant clicks and gaps, in addition to the sound being faster than it actually is. - Create an empty ~/.openalrc by running 'touch ~/.openalrc' and run the attached program again, it'll work properly. The source code uses alut to do initialization and plays /usr/share/sounds/login.wav by default which I assume to exist on all Ubuntu variants. ** Attachment added: "A minimal application to reproduce the problem." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17783525/openal_problem.zip -- plays all sounds fragmentary on alsa backend. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
