| | Sound effects not working in ALSA (Linux) I bought Voxatron Alpha in the Humble Voxatron Debut. I tried it out, and noticed the sound effects weren't working. The music was working, but not the sound effects. My friend tried it out too and it worked for him, but he is using PulseAudio. I prefer ALSA. I tried using the aoss wrapper to start the game, but no luck. Then I tried running the Windows version in WINE, and the sound effects worked. But some aspects are slower.
Any fix?

| | :: A SDL game is a game that uses the SDL library, it's library for making portable games for music and graphics. Voxatron however seams to be linked with libpulse so it might use pulse for the sound effects and only SDL for the music. Only Lexaloffle knows.
Are you one of these guys who uninstall pulse because you think that pulse is the reason you don't get sound in other games?

| | :: Ok, yeah Wine just rewrote their entire sound architecture and a pulse driver is currently lacking. I have however never had any problems with wine and pulse, even runs 1.3.31 fine. Could be that your distribution of choice doesn't have compatible versions of wine and pulse (I run Ubuntu myself).

| | :: It's extremely weird that the sound should work but not the music. They're both mixed by Voxatron into the same output channel!
Could you do me a favour and email your log.txt and config.txt files? -> hey@lexaloffle.com
You can find them in ~/.lexaloffle/Voxatron

Argh, that one was a big mistake on my part. I forgot that ldd also shows libraries brought in by the other libs and since my libSDL is linked with pulse, libpulse was shown in ldd output for vox...
Sorry for the confusion!

| | :: Henrik: in any case, even if libSDL is using PulseAudio, it never shows up as linked with it: it is loaded dynamically when needed, I think so that people can ship libSDLs that support every audio system going without requiring every user to have the libs for all of them.
The only way you can tell if a libSDL binary you've been given supports a given sound driver is to dig through its symbol table, find the appropriate symbols to manipulate that sound driver, and *compare addresses* to see if the functions are empty stubs or have content. This is quite irritating!

And interestingly enough the libSDL bundled with Voxatron does not...
