Recent steam failes in fakepulse.so #102

Closed christina002 closed 1 year ago

christina002 commented 1 year ago

Recent steam binaries fail in fakepulse.so because they call unimplemented functions:

fakepulse: pa_threaded_mainloop_start
steam: src/fakepulse.c:372: pa_threaded_mainloop_start: Assertion `0' failed.

I've tried adding all pa_threadedmainloop*() functions to fakepulse.so (all of which simply returned 0) but then it would go on with pa_proplist_new() and that returns a pointer to a structure, thus things are becoming a bit complicated.

I've tried to find out why there's a fakepulse library in the first place but came up blank. Shouldn't it be possible to install linux-c7-pulseaudio-libs and have the real thing?

Thanks, --Christina

Please, test things with the latest code before reporting anything.

Some of us don't like and don't use "the real thing". Other than that it's prone to crashing with the "Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting." message.

Sorry to report this without testing the latest version from github - I used ports to install it and the version in there still has the issue. I'll try the github version.

Ports are horrifying for anything that should be updated on time: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267803.

Yeah.... it's just that I usually only want to install things via ports or pkg... I completely understand how a fast-moving target like Steam doesn't work with this concept, though.

I've applied the patch to the ports version and now it works - thanks! And sorry again for submitting a defect for something that's already been fixed. I noticed you also added a workaround for https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267616 but I've handled this by moving the kernel to stable/13. I guess I could save myself a lot of pain by just moving to the git version of linuxulator-steam-utils...
