I'm using a standard monster.sou file. I'll try out CVS in a bit and let you know how it goes. Either that or I'll report compilation problems ;)
comment:3 by , 21 years ago
Okay, I guess I wasn't joking after all. I've got a CVS snapshot from Aug 6, and am having compilation problems.
./configure gives some ominous sdl messages: Backend... sdl Looking for sdl-config... sdl-config ./configure: line 1: sdl-config: command not found ./configure: line 1: sdl-config: command not found
and make gives more sdl errors: /bin/sh: line 1: sdl-config: command not found In file included from backends/sdl/sdl-common.h:26, from backends/sdl/sdl-common.cpp:22: common/scummsys.h:112:35: warning: SDL_byteorder.h: No such file or directory common/scummsys.h:114:13: warning: "SDL_BYTEORDER" is not defined common/scummsys.h:114:30: warning: "SDL_LIL_ENDIAN" is not defined In file included from backends/sdl/sdl-common.cpp:22: backends/sdl/sdl-common.h:30:17: warning: SDL.h: No such file or directory backends/sdl/sdl-common.h:31:24: warning: SDL_thread.h: No such file or directory
...and it pretty much gets worse from there. This is a stock RedHat 9 install, and I haven't installed many (if any) optional DEVEL packages. SDL is installed tho.

Did you try a daily build http://www.scummvm.org/daily/ ?
If you don't have sdl-config in your path, then the SDL package isn't installed (or at least isn't completely installed, period. The configure script is only a placeholder, too, you can safely ignore it for now. Just do a "make" (but again,. w/o sdl-config, that won't work). OH yes, since you are on a RedHat system, you probably don't have any MP3 libs installed, so you need to edit Makefile and comment away the use of the MAD library (which provides MP3 abilities to ScummVM).

Okay, the daily build 20030807 has the exact same delay--approximately 1/2 second.
comment:6 by , 21 years ago
I also confirmed this bug on the English Sam & Max CD talkie. Same delay, both 0.5.0 and 20030807 CVS. I can't test other platforms, but that might be a good idea.

You are using an uncompressed monster.sou file, right? Could you use the extract tool to generate a monster.so3, and test with that as well? To see if it is delayed, too, or not. This would help to narrow down the bug.
comment:8 by , 21 years ago
Okay, I created a monster.so3 using the extract tool compiled from 20030809 CVS. Playing with scummvm 20030807cvs and 0.5.0 both give me a half-second delay. Incidentally, the sound quality was much improved in 20030807cvs!

Could it be arts or esd or something similar be introducing a delay? (I've never really used them myself - they don't do anything useful for me - so I don't know if they do that.)

Sweet! Thanks Erik! Okay, disabling the aRts sound server fixed it in CVS and 0.5.0. Looks like I may as well get 0.5.1 now tho ;)
Sounds like FAQ material to me (aRts is set to start up with KDE by default, so this will be a common problem). I wonder if there's any way to detect aRts and adjust sound timing accordingly. Probably not worth the effort, considering aRts could change and screw things up again.

How is your music encoded? Plain .sou file, or did you encode it as MP3 using the "extract" tool. Also, did you try it with latest CVS (which has a different audio mixer than both 0.5.0 and the upcoming 0.5.1) ?
