I missed it the first time, as what you need actually is: echo "xquake.real 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss (xquake is a shell wrapper for the real binary xquake.real) > > quakeforge works well, but there is a time lag in > > producing sound, which does not exist with the OSS driver. > > Tuning snd-mixahead does not help. > > this is not sure. does the delay happen only on quake or do you mean > it generally? if it's general behavior, then it's easier to debug. > anyway we need to trace at which point the delay occurs. It is not general behaviour, alas. More specifically: quakeforge with alsa sound output and alsa driver has the time lag (nearly 0.5 second). quakeforge with OSS sound output and OSS 'sb' driver works well. quakeforge with OSS sound output and alsa OSS emulation driver works well, using: echo "nq-glx 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss but when you quit, the program locks itself (no machine crash, only the program is blocked, you need to kill it). Using quake2forge (a quake2 port, without alsa support) under alsa OSS emulation driver with: echo "quake2 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss it works also well, but same program lock when quitting as with quakeforge. I will try to investigate where it blocks (last message is about DMA buffer release).
