Re: [hatari-devel] SDL1 vs. SDL2 sound pausing

[Troed Sångberg <troed@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tested & verified here. Complete silence when accessing OSX menus.

(My 2009 Core 2 Duo is also slow enough for me to be able to "force" sound dropouts when moving windows and I'd consider it to sound "plausible" combined with obvious stuttering in graphics rendering)

Afaik for OSX being release ready I'm now only waiting for the updated GUI that has been created but not merged yet.

OK, I've now done some quick and certainly non-representative tests by
simply adding a hack a la "nGeneratedSamples = len * 9 / 10" at the
beginning of the callback function, to see whether I could hear a
difference between setting the remaining part of the buffer to 0 or
duplicating the samples. But I have to say that both just sounded bad.
Maybe the sample duplication was a tiny little, little bit better than
the setting to 0, but that could also be just my imagination.

So let's do the "keep it simple" principle here and go for your
suggestion to always set the remaining part of the buffer to 0.

Could you do that "memset-to-zero" patch, or shall I do it?

hi

thanks for your tests ; I pushed the change to clear the rest of the buffer in case we don't have enough sample to play.
