Patch to implement S_ClearSoundBuffer in OpenAL (1.46 KB, patch)

Description rambokalle 2012-01-21 12:42:09 EST 
There seems to be a bug in ioquake3 using OpenAL.

The music starts to hang after playing a while (typically after a few maps). A ~1 sec. sample is played in an infinite loop which is really annoying, please watch my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQAu_YpnP2o

I can trace back this bug exactly to Revision 1712 (http://svn.icculus.org/quake3?view=rev&revision=1712). I reverted the changes made in snd_openal.c, and the music plays like a charm again. Thanks in advance!

This bug is awesome. Turns the music into shitty death metal, nice find.

I've never had this bug. Have you tried a different version of OpenAL?

Still reproducible? Going once...
Comment 5 Zachary J. Slater 2013-02-18 00:49:44 EST 
Please reopen this bug if it is reproducible in the future.

I run into this bug all the time but I don't think it is was introduced in that revision. The bug also exists in the version prior to that.

Not sure how to reproduce it reliably.

Patch to implement S_ClearSoundBuffer in OpenAL

Patch to implement S_ClearSoundBuffer in OpenAL....fixes this bug with looping sounds and background tracks by clearing sources and regenerating buffers much like the Base sound implementation.
