From 5243e5543e27410984d84a30aa7d7b7210d14daa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Cave-Ayland Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2023 09:37:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] asc: generate silence if FIFO empty but engine still running MacOS (un)helpfully leaves the FIFO engine running even when all the samples have been written to the hardware, and expects the FIFO status flags and IRQ to be updated continuously. There is an additional problem in that not all audio backends guarantee an all-zero output when there is no FIFO data available, in particular the Windows dsound backend which re-uses its internal circular buffer causing the last played sound to loop indefinitely. Whilst this is effectively a bug in the Windows dsound backend, work around it for now using a simple heuristic: if the FIFO remains empty for half a cycle (~23ms) then continuously fill the generated buffer with empty silence.
