Re: [Openvortex-dev] Aureal Patch.

Sound still reverses for me in quake2 and quake3.  It's very strange.  It will 
be reversed for like 15 minutes, and then not reversed for 2 minutes.
Really it's random.  It seems like it's random, and i dont know what causes it.

Everything else about the patch is working fine.  No trouble at all with 
speedups or anything.
I was thinking that
dmesg |grep vortex
vortex: 2 virt=12, real=0, delta=2
vortex: 2 virt=15, real=3, delta=3
vortex: 2 virt=4, real=0, delta=2

had something to do with my sound reversal...but i'm not sure at the moment.  
Sometimes those appear when im playing quake2/3, but the sound will
still reverse without generating one of those (used dmesg -c for 2 hours trying 
to figure it out).  It seems like xmms never reverses...but my music
is so psychadelic that if it did reverse...i wouldnt really notice.

From the new patch i also got this error.
vortex: IRQ fifo error
But i didn't notice any new strange behavior.  So i'm not worried about it.  
Only thing i care about at this point is sound reversal.  I'm thinking
about reversing my stereos plugs to reverse it permenantly, and then reverse 
xmms's sound. (but that wouldnt fix it for headphones or for the times
when quake2/3 is between reversals)

Actually with this new patch my sounds sound liek they are being downsampled.  
I can hear a robotic tinge to all sounds including the ones in quake2/3
and xmms.  It starts after about 15 minutes of play.  I'm glad I didn't properly send the e-mail to the list so i could add this without spamming. 
I'm on spring break now so if anyone needs me to do more testing let me know....I think im going to go back into the archives (is this possible?) to 
try every alsa driver released to find which one doesnt reverse sound....It's a major problem for me.

Anyone anything?
