Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: teeworlds
Teeworlds chooses OSS (ie /dev/dsp) by defualt for sound output. To make this
go through pulseaudio, ie for teeworlds to make any sound whilst any other
sound application is running, the .desktop file should change the Exec line to:
Exec=padsp teeworlds
Teeworlds cant use ALSA due to a limitation in portaudio's ability to
work with pulseaudio. Therefore OSS is the correct choice. If teeworlds
chooses the ALSA device, it still doesnt hurt for it to have padsp
before it.
Note that for me sound is slightly distorted when using padsp compared
to using just OSS sound straight (which only works when no other
application is running). However, having any applications not going
through pulseaudio produces major confusion headaches for users, as it
can have what seems like very odd other affects on unrelated
appplications which wont work as expected. It is safer to have the sound
going through pulseaudio, even if it is slightly lower quality.
After testing messing with the values in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ; it appears
that adding the lines:
default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
fixes the sound problems i had in teeworlds. note that ";" in the config file
means that line is commented out. This change to the daemon.conf file is
suggested in several places on the internet.
for now, teeworlds should definitely have padsp. work on the default
values for puleaudio daemon can come later
