This file contains information on the current implementation of the DirectSound
|
||
|
|
API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The DirectSound API can be found in the Win32 DLL dsound.dll and in the
|
||
|
|
IDirectSound* interfaces. It is implemented in multimedia/dsound.c.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current implementation uses the Linux/FreeBSD OpenSoundSystem. Some
|
||
|
|
applications already work. There is only the basic part of the interfaces
|
||
|
|
implemented, but it is the stuff used by 90% of the applications.
|
||
|
|
It also uses multithreading, so it will only work on systems with working
|
||
|
|
CreateThread.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tested with SoundBlaster(16) clone and Gravis UltraSound Classic.

TODO:
|
||
|
|
- Add support for other audiosystems.
|
||
|
|
+ Sun Audio. (Solaris and probably the *BSDs except FreeBSD.)
|
||
|
|
+ remote audio support (No clue as to what systems there are.
|
||
|
|
Use some audio xextensions?)
|
||
|
|
- Add support for mixing of different frequency and panning.
|
||
|
|
- Fix all the multithread pending race conditions and the like.
|
||
|
|
- Share filedescriptors and other stuff with mciwave/waveoutdevice code.

Gamestatus:
|
||
|
|
- Wing Commander 4/W95:
|
||
|
|
The intromovie plays without problems. Nearly lipsynchron.
|
||
|
|
- DiscWorld 2
|
||
|
|
The sound works, but noticeable chunks are left out (from the sound
|
||
|
|
and the animation). Don't know why yet.
|
||
|
|
- Diablo:
|
||
|
|
Sound works, but slows down the movieplayer. In the (hacked version)
|
||
|
|
game the sound is positively weird.
|
||
|
|
- Monkey Island 3:
|
||
|
|
The background sound of the startscreen works.
|
||
|
|
- WingCommander Prophecy Demo:
|
||
|
|
Sound works for the intromovie.
