Re: DMA Sound split & Atari800

I am trying to build Atari800 (the emulator) with sound support, and so far
I have been successful, except that the output is very 'jittery.'  It
sounds as if either a) each sample is being played twice, or b) the
soundcard is initialized before each sample.  I was able to get it to
produce sound by editing the Makefile to include -DSIGNED_SAMPLES
-DPOKEYSND_BIG_ENDIAN.  *Occasionally* I can somehow get it to produce
smooth sound, but each sample is drawn out, almost as if it is playing it
twice as long (and it doesn't sync with the video).

If there is anyone here that is more familiar with the current state of
sound support in the 2.3.x PPC kernels (with all of the dmasound split
patches applied), and would like to help me figure out why this is
occuring, I would really appreciate it.  I just don't really know enough
about the current state of sound support in the PPC kernels to know exactly
what is wrong -- although I will continue to probe around.

Did it work before you applied the dmasound split patches?
