Does anyone know if there are any bugs or undocumented quirks with the
audio.device?
I've had a problem with it for months that I just can't seem to get rid
of. In my code, I queue up about 30 audio requests on three channels, for
sequential play (it's a SMUS player for a game). There are points in time
where I need to cancel all of the queued requests, because I'm going
to be changing songs.
This is what I do:
- I issue a CMD_RESET, which should clear out all of the queued requests.
- I then issue an ADCMD_FINISH, which should halt any currently playing
requests, and cancel them as well.
Unfortunately, the audio device seems to get 'most' of the requests. It
doesn't always seem to get all of them - sometimes missing one, other times
missing as many as five. When I start up my next song to be
played, those few uncancelled requests from the previous song are
played - getting everything out of sync, and making a pretty fair mess.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, PLEASE take the time to reply -
I've just about given up on things.
- Greg
