[Openal-devel] Issues with openal-soft 1.9.563 using pulse

[Andres Mejia]

There are some issues that occur when using pulse as the backend driver for 
openal. For one, an application using openal will either hang (in the case of 
mplayer) or will not have any sound (in the case of warzone2100 and 
supertuxkart).

This message appears in the terminal for each application.
AL lib: pulseaudio.c:370: tlength (14544) is not a multiple of minreq (4096)!

Second issue is mainly with mplayer. Aside from mplayer hanging, mplayer also 
always exits with this message.
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 719: _dl_close: Assertion `map-
>l_init_called' failed!

Setting openal to not use pulse will not give these issues.
