SDL_mixer / win32 and DirectSound error

SDL Development
1

Hi,

A few of my users reported problems with gltron on win32.
It fails upon

if(Mix_OpenAudio(22050, AUDIO_U16, 1, 1024) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, “can’t open audio: %s\n”, SDL_GetError());
exit(2);
}

The error returned by SDL_GetError is:

DirectSound CreateSoundBuffer: Invalid parameter

I found a mail in the mailinglist archive, reporting this
problem with DirectX 3, but one user reported that he was
using DirectX 6.1

Does anyone have experience with this problem?

I’ve reported this some time ago - this happens if you
have DirectX3 installed.

In the meantime I’m using the patch below in my personally
built SDL version that is shipping with PySol.

Thanks, I’ve added it to CVS.

How do I checkout the latest SDL_mixer CVS?
