Im trying to play this old game, Terminus, with alsa-0.9.2 with OSS emulation but to no avail. With the OSS driver it works.
With alsa, it starts like this: $ terminus Opened /dev/dsp for writing. Opened /dev/dsp for reading. Set 16 bits Info 123: Set stereo sound Set 44100Hz audio mixing 4/1024 It just hangs there. Stracing that process, I get lots of: (...) ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0 write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0 write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0 write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0 write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 ioctl(19, SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE, 0xbf7ffacc) = 0 write(19, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 (...) Any idea what this means?
