[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 403363] Re: OpenAL-based applications' sound is jerky

[David Robert Lewis]

I can confirm there is a problem with Open-Arena and OpenAL. Apparently
the fix is to upgrade ALSA to latest 10.21. When will this trickle down?

Status in “openal-soft” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: libopenal1

In applications based on OpenAL, like FlightGear or OpenArena, sound is jerky.
Adding the following line in /etc/openal/alsoft.conf seems to fix the problem :

drivers = pulse

Found here : http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#OpenALApplications

Works in Karmic, not tested in Jaunty (but Jaunty's jerky sound in OpenAL seems to be worse)

my libopenal1 version : 1:1.8.466-2
