RE: Sound doesn't play anymore after a few plays

Hi Chris,

I'm pretty certain that I use Alsa, as I run the application in an embedded system and it is the only device installed.

I'll try installing pulseaudio and try again.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!

Hi.

What device is being used when this happens ("ALSA Software", "PulseAudio 
Software", etc)? You can check with:
alcGetString(Device, ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);
If you're using alutInit to set up the device, you can instead do:
alcGetString(alcGetContextsDevice(alcGetCurrentContext()),
             ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);

I've heard reports before of the ALSA backend stopping sound output when it's 
left to play non-stop for several hours, and it sounds like this may be the 
same issue. Unfortunately I haven't been able to track down the actual 
problem, yet.
