SDL 2.0.6 and 2.0.7

[devnexen]

I use Arch Linux and it is the version 2.0.6 shipped with
I do not have profound knowledge of SDL audio but it seems that this version needs a bigger buffer otherwise the game crashes when the first sound tries to be played (tested only Doom II), this I was wondering if changing slighty https://github.com/bradharding/doomretro/blob/master/src/i_sound.c#L162

would fit ? In my case if I allocated from 3 times the memory needed it worked like 2.0.5 did but maybe @bradharding would have a better solution. Cheers.

Thanks David. I'll investigate further. I'm having problems getting SFX working at all using the newly released SDL 2.0.6, which is why I haven't committed it yet. (See https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/sdl-2-0-6-released/23109/3?u=bradharding)

For visibility - this seems related: pjasicek/OpenClaw#122

This has been resolved upstream by SDL devs. https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3858

@fragglet thanks for your efforts.

[bradharding]

Thanks Fraggle.

I think I might wait for the next official release of SDL (2.0.7?) and SDL_mixer (2.0.2?) (which I'm guessing won't be too far away) for DR's next build.

for info chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom#945 (comment)

[bradharding]

@devnexen, does your solution of tripling the size of the allocated memory for the sound still fix this issue for 2.0.7?

[devnexen]

well I was finally able to test doomretro under FreeBSD and Mac with SDL 2.0.7 both works well so false alarm (fortunately :-) ) but for chocolate-doom the problem is real.

In fact not too surprising after a deeper look, that comes (in my opinion) from this change you did a little while ago 70ba911#diff-c38e1305b41fcfdb9d2b7a3ca18569f9
