wine users - Apr 2006 - Will they ever fix the DirectSound buffer underrun error?

I'm one of many many people who submitted a duplicate bug report when
this happened to me, without realising quite how old this problem is.

New Wine versions are coming thick and fast, but every few days someone
posts another report that the same problem exists in the latest version
with such-and-such a DirectX app.

Does anyone know if this is ever likely to be fixed?

Read the Wine Weekly Newsletter, there have been several issues
detailing this problem in the recent past.

Heya,

Try this patch and tell me if it makes any difference:

  http://plan99.net/~mike/threadprio.patch

You will need to run "autoheader; autoconf; ./configure;" then make
and
make install in the wineserver directory, and then mark wineserver suid
root ... chmod +x `which wineserver`

I'd be interested to know if this solves the DSound underruns for you
in this specific case. Also which app are you wanting to use?

thanks -mike

Hi Mike,
did you submit this to wine-devel and/or bugzilla ?

Kind regards,

Try the SetThreadPriority patch, make the wineserver suid root, and see if
it helps. I'll be interested to know if this problem is being caused by
scheduler issues too. You can find the patch here:

  http://plan99.net/~mike/threadprio.patch

After you apply it, rerun autoheader, autoconf, then do make and make
install inside the server/ directory. Then, if you are doing make install
as root, run "chmod +s `which wineserver`". 

thanks -mike

Yeah I sent it to wine-devel
