However, we check its return value for errors, and if anything but noErr occurs, the reader thread aborts its current iteration. That is bad, because it aborts before it can ever set the flag which tells that the file is over (also, any remaining data which FSRead did return is lost - so you'd not hear about to 4 seconds from the end of the file. Furthermore, the computed data size was 8 bytes to high (I forgot to account for the fact that the size of an (A)IFF chunk always contains the chunk header & size fields, too). This is enough to make it work. However, the end condition is rather fragile, so I tuned some other things to be pessimistic (check for <= 0 instead of == 0, when eofErr is encountered enforce mReadFilePosition == mFileLength). You never know... The attached patch fixes the issue for me.

Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 21:59:24 -0800 From: Pete Shinners Subject: [SDL] directfb cursor patch here is a quick and dirty patch that allows directfb to change the visibility of the cursor. this display backend still has no way to change the actual cursor shape, but being able to set the cursor visibility is a simple change that should offer some benefits. the code was largely based on the cursor code for other sdl backends. and this documentation. http://directfb.org/documentation/DirectFB_Reference/IDirectFBDisplayLayer_SetCursorOpacity.html

Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 01:52:02 +0800 From: "Andy Pfiffer" Subject: [SDL] patch: PocketPC 2000 diffs for release_1_2_6 I was making a backup of my current workspace of SDL for PocketPC, and thought I would send out my diffs. Apologies in advance if the patch has become whitespace mangled. These diffs are relative to CVS tag release_1_2_6, and contain (I think) all changes that have been mentioned on the mailing list in the last few months. I only have PocketPC 2000 & an ARM-based device (iPaq 3635), and I only use Embedded Visual Tools 3.0, so I can't say for sure if it breaks other PocketPC 200[023] builds.

Editors Note: The original patch was modified to use SDL_Delay() instead of nanosleep because nanosleep may not be portable to all systems using SDL with the ALSA backend. This may be a moot point with the switch to blocking writes anyway... Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 21:47:36 +0100 From: Michel Daenzer To: Debian Bug Tracking System Subject: [SDL] Bug#225252: [PATCH] ALSA fixes Package: libsdl1.2debian-all Version: 1.2.6-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch For SDL 1.2.6, the ALSA backend was changed to call snd_pcm_open() with SND_PCM_NONBLOCK. That's a good idea per se, however, it causes high CPU usage, interrupted sound and stuttering in some games here. Taking a nanosleep whenever snd_pcm_writei() returns -EAGAIN fixes this, but I think it's more efficient to use blocking mode for the actual sound playback. Feedback from the SDL and ALSA lists appreciated. The patch also fixes the default ALSA device to be used.
