This was sitting in my inbox, and I thought it could help our userbase with their PulseAudio issues.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Robinson <xxx...@xxxxx.com> Date: Jan 17, 2010 10:25 PM Subject: [Openal-devel] OpenAL Soft 1.11.753 released! To: ope...@opensource.creative.com Cc: openal-de...@opensource.creative.com New version is up and ready: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html This release fixes compatibility with PulseAudio 0.9.21, and makes PulseAudio the default backend (if PA is not available, it will still fall back to ALSA, OSS, etc). The PulseAudio backend will also attempt to match an output format and frequency as reported by the default sink, if an override was not set in the config file (so if Pulse is configured for 5.1 output, OpenAL Soft will automatically pick that up and render 5.1; no extra configuration needed). The crash with the echo effect is fixed, and reverb has been improved. It now supports the Modulation and Echo properties. Multi-channel sources are also passed through the auxiliary sends, as a mono mix, so they will work with auxiliary slot effects. There is also a new head-dampening config option, which slightly filters sources emanating behind the listener, for mono and stereo output. It also supports the AL_EXT_source_distance_model extension, as described here <http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-extensions/EXT_source_distance_model.txt>. Additionally, there is a new config option to select between 3 resamplers: nearest (no interpolation), linear (default), and cosine. The next version will hopefully see more of the experimental extensions completed, better resamplers (such as cubic), and more. I'll also try to get out more frequent releases if major issues turn up. Thanks for looking! Please feel free to try it out, and let me know how it works for you. :) - Chris _______________________________________________ Openal-devel mailing list openal-de...@opensource.creative.com http://opensource.creative.com/mailman/listinfo/openal-devel _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
