| PulseAudio support [message #969] |

I was wondering what the status of PulseAudio support in mednafen is. I just installed Fedora 8 and have grown very found of PulseAudio. Is it supported, or are you working on it? I was able to select esd and let it get wrapped through PulseAudio, but it was rather slow unfortunately. In case you don't know about PulseAudio:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/
Whatever the case mednafen is still a great emu and I am always using it when emulating the system it supports 
EDIT: I tried using sdl for sound, and it seems to work good with PulseAudio.
EDIT2: Nevermind that. I don't know what I did yesterday but sdl is as slow as esd.

SDL's sound support is generally a poor choice for emulators, although probably not so much so on OS X(whose callback sound API matches SDL's more closely).
How much will you donate if I add PulseAudio support?

Set your alsa driver to use the pulseaudio plugin, then use the alsa driver in mednafen.

That actually doesn't work...hmm. It should make the alsa driver use the pulseaudio server, but I get an error that alsa can't open the default device when another app already has the server open. Hmmmmm....maybe I didn't do something right...

Actually, I am not interested in PulseAudio anymore, so the topic can be closed. I tried OSS4 and it's a lot better at what it does (It doesn't have networking features but I am not interested in that.), with lower latency than anything else and software mixing with selectable volume for every stream.

I found that the only way to get reliable sound with PulseAudio in Mednafen is to use the OSS sounddriver and run mednafen with padsp. A hack, but it works fine. Proper PA-support would be great though...

I found that Mednafen has much lower latency with ALSA than with OSS. You should definitely try setting it up against ALSA (try not to have any other app play sound in the meantime).

Medafen-wip works perfect with pulseaudio 2.1 using alsa output.
