A Quick Port Of Sfxr To Debug Sound ..

[torpor]

I ported sfxr to the PandoraOS:

(Sources included, .bin also included)

sfxr is a little mini-sound generating program useful for designing 8-bit style sound effects for games. See the authors web page here: http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html

Alas, it seems there is something wrong with the sound setup (ALSA) on Pandora, as we are getting a lot of underruns .. still investigating this, but in the hopes that this will inspire other hackers, I'm putting the sources package up for other developers ..

Take a look in .asoundrc and tweak your ALSA settings. (Really, Linux seems to be in sorry shape .. ALSA, OSS etc are pretty ugly hacks imho

Let us kow if oyu cna get some ALSA love in there

The thing is, I really don't want to "up the buffers", so to speak .. well, okay if its necessary, its necessary. But I guess there's a lot of work to be done in this area to make it superlative .. so I'll dig in and see what I find ..
