Re: OpenAL Problems with Pulseaudio

Thanks! This worked perfectly! I had the period set to 8192 to overcome
sound glitches causing (or maybe associated with) OpenAL creating and
killing a million sinks a second in Pulseaudio. Now that OpenAL uses
Pulse directly, I guess I don't need to have it that high anymore.
Setting the period size to 512 with 4 periods got rid of the hangs.

I will have to keep the GIT in mind, as I'm quite certain neither it nor
the current 1.11 will have made it into Ubuntu Lucid (10.04).

A proper fix is in Git (commit bd518ed26463bc83f975712275d7af0b69ec897d for 
the curious), and hopefully it can be picked up by distros that have OpenAL 
Soft 1.11, but if this is the case for you, then you can try this work 
around.. in ~/.alsoftrc, decrease the periods and/or period_size settings. 
Most modern machines should be able to halve it without a problem, so setting
  period_size = 1024
  periods = 2
or
  period_size = 512
  periods = 4
should get it working.
