pipewire support #214

Closed eNTi closed 1 year ago

eNTi commented 1 year ago

Since I'm currently trying to play "Enemy Territory: Quake Wars", I've stumbled upon another issue: My sound system. I'm using pipewire but can't seem to get it to work with sdl12-compat. Should there be support or could you add support for that. Is there any practical workaround? The game itself supports oss, alsa and openal. So far I couldn't get dmix to work with the game so it either blocks the device or can't because it's already in use.

The latest SDL2 supports pipewire, so if the game uses SDL 1.2 audio, sdl12-compat can transparently use pipewire already.

But we can't do much if the game doesn't support SDL audio.

Maybe OpenAL-Soft might support it...?
