[Openal] OpenAL Soft performance question

[Troy Yee]

I have an application using OpenAL Soft 1.8.466 + commits to 2009-07-03.  Things work fine at startup but after some long period of time (5 + hours), audio playback practically stops - a request to play a source takes several seconds before any change in sound is observed and then things are *very* choppy - same buffers seem to get replayed even.  The application is running on SuSE Linux Enterprise 10.1 with ALSA backend.  The issue could be related to the application but there has been some evidence to suggest that it may be a problem with OpenAL.

I've noticed some ALSA related changes in the GIT repository.  Could any of the findings that resulted in those changes explain the observed behaviour? (Perhaps even the recent change regarding the thread stop condition?)

Troy.
