I don't know if this has been addressed yet, but as of today I still saw
it on the buglist at x.mame.net. This addresses the problem of going to
DGA fullscreen mode, pausing, and losing sound. I figured that DGA might
do some monkeying around, like fork/exec'ing or something, along the lines
of creating a dup'd fd of the /dev/dsp fd. So I wrapped
sysdep_update_display call where it detects if the mode needs to be
changed with osd_sound_enable() using 0 and 1 to turn off sound before the
switch and turn it back on after the switch of video mode. The bug was
minor for me until I recently got an x-arcade stick, very cool imho. :)
Anyways, the patch is below, in diff -c format. This seems to have
cleared up the issue for me, for pausing, saving, and loading, so now
playing 15 mins at a time during break still lets me creep forward using
save/load without losing the benefit of sound.
Great work on the port guys, btw, excellent piece of software.
