I am having a few problems with newpcm.
I often play a whole bunch of Sesame Street AVIs to keep the 1 and 3
year olds happy while I read email.
I usually play them like so (straight from the CD-ROM):
foreach blah ( /cdrom/letters/tv/*.avi )
xanim -Zr +Ze +Av`mixer | grep pcm | cut -d: -f2` $blah >& /dev/null
end
This worked fine with the old sound drivers but now I find that I
have to put in a 1 second sleep after xanim or the sound will usually
stop completely after the first AVI.
I am also now getting the following messages on the console:
"dsp sync"
I get 4 of these at the start of each invocation of xanim and then
I get 1 at the end of each invocation of xanim.
When the sound has stopped completely I have to reboot to get it back.
My -CURRENT is about 3 days old. (9/9/99 my time which is UTC +9.5 hours)
>>> elf make world started on Thu Sep 9 09:29:09 CST 1999
>>> elf make world completed on Thu Sep 9 11:01:23 CST 1999
I have a PnP SB16 and "device pcm0" in my kernel (along with "controller
pnp0") of course.
The most recently updated file in /usr/src/sys/dev/pcm for me is channel.c
at version 1.3 if thats usefull.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
