CVS Update (glibc-2.0 CRITICAL FIX)

SDL Development
1

Everyone who has been having problems with SDL and smpeg on their
systems, or been getting unexplained Xlib: out of sync errors,
should get the latest CVS snapshot. Apparently thread locking
with glibc-2.0 was completely broken. The code was fine, but the
wrong header was getting included, #define’ing DISABLE_THREADS

Ack!

Please grab this snapshot:
http://www.libsdl.org/cvs.html

See ya!

I’ll be releasing SDL 1.1.8 in a few days with this fix.

See ya!

Bad news; I recompiled SDL and smpeg and it’s still broken,
at least on my system.

I tried it and I still get an assert fail:

assert(audio->rawdatawriteoffset > len);

I don’t have the latest update (I have 1.1.7), however this assert only
shows up on my system when I set SDL_AUDIODRIVER to “dsound” (which is the
default). When it is set to “waveout”, the MPEG 1, Layer 3 files play
almost fine. (small gaps here and then, probably due to underbuffering?)–
