If we fail to connect to the the pa server, we have an assigned context
and mainloop that isn't connected. So, when PULSEAUDIO_pa_context_disconnect
is called, pa asserts and crashes the application.
Assertion 'pa_atomic_load(&(c)->_ref) >= 1' failed at pulse/context.c:1055, function pa_context_disconnect(). Aborting.
This is only supported on PulseAudio. You can set a description when opening
your audio device that will show up in pauvcontrol, which lets you set
per-stream volume levels.
Fixes Bugzilla #4801.
This tends to be a frequent spot where drivers hang, and the waits were
often unreliable in any case.
Instead, our audio thread now alerts the driver that we're done streaming audio
(which currently XAudio2 uses to alert the system not to warn about the
impending underflow) and then SDL_Delay()'s for a duration that's reasonable
to drain the DMA buffers before closing the device.
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
- It's now always called if device->hidden isn't NULL, even if OpenDevice()
failed halfway through. This lets implementation code not have to clean up
itself on every possible failure point; just return an error and SDL will
handle it for you.
- Implementations can assume this->hidden != NULL and not check for it.
- implementations don't have to set this->hidden = NULL when done, because
the caller is always about to free(this).
- Don't reset other fields that are in a block of memory about to be free()'d.
- Implementations all now free things like internal mix buffers last, after
closing devices and such, to guarantee they definitely aren't in use anymore
at the point of deallocation.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
