I am using RedHat 8.0 (and the SDL that is shipped
with it)
I have three problems out of which one is solved
although I would like to know more about the solution.
(no1 that I mention )
I have an onboard sound card and am using ALSA. I
encountered some time lag similar to what John Hall
has talked about in his Pro Linux Games book, but with
ESD. Now this time lag gets almost resolved completely
if I use 22050 sample rate instead of 44100. What does
this mean?
Any SDL application using sound works only the
every other time on my machine. Every alternate time I
get an error with Mix_OpenAudio function failing.
When I am not using Mix_OpenAudio, SDL_OpenAudio fails
with the error string being " Unable to Open ESD
connection" Before this error I could have sworn that
I was using ALSA. Now how do I find out for sure what
I am using?
Mix_LoadMus if passed an MP3 file, does not give
the desired results. The file is never played. If I
pass an ogg file, it is played perfectly.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your
time.-

Dont use ESD, its evil.

Remove ESD and all applications use it. Build SDL without ESD.On 05-Dec-2002, N D wrote:

I exorcised the system and problem 1 and 2 have
mysteriously disappeared. I did not remove the
applications that used it and to my pleasant surprise
I could use alsaplayer to play CDs (it is the only app
that can play audio CDs in my system and was shown to
be esd dependent)
Thanks for this.

Ok 2 down 1 to go I can live with this though as I
just installed oggasm that converts MP3s to ogg.> On 05-Dec-2002, N D wrote:
