Title: [0.9.9.2] Sound error message destroys screen content (with workaround)
Post by: Moodguy on February 25, 2011, 03:16

Version number of DoomRL: 0.9.9.2
Version type of DoomRL: linux-i386
Platform you were running on: GNU/Linux

The following error message is printed across the screen (wherever the cursor happens to be) every few seconds:

ALSA lib pcm.c:7223:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured

This destroys the screen content over time and thus makes the game unusable. I have found the following workaround:

• Run gnome-terminal --geometry=80x25
• In the new terminal window, run ./doomrl 2>>stderr.log

This causes the error message to be appended to the file stderr.log instead of being printed on the terminal.

Note that despite this annoying error message, the sounds do work fine.

Best,
Moodguy

Thanks!

I'll try to find out why the error happens, and also by default redirect the stderr to error.log.
