Sound through ALSA, a 2D game, and a stack walk that cannot panic
SDL 3 has no OSS backend and SchOS has no ALSA kernel side, so sound now goes SDL -> alsa-lib -> alsa-plugins' OSS plugin -> /dev/dsp. That path found two bugs underneath it: - ac97: resetting the PCM-out box also clears the descriptor list address, and nothing set it again. Every stream after the first stop played a "list" at physical address 0 -- silence -- and ALSA resets before each stream. If the engine halts at the end of the queue, the run bit is set again. - /dev/dsp: SETFRAGMENT, GETFMTS, GETCAPS, SETTRIGGER, GETOPTR and GETODELAY for the plugin's ring-and-pointer model, and poll(), writable once a whole fragment fits (ALSA spun at 76% CPU otherwise). speaker-test now plays in real time at 0% CPU, verified in a recording of QEMU's AC'97. - /etc/asound.conf: the default device is a plug to the OSS device at 16-bit stereo 48 kHz, what every SchOS audio driver plays. Also: - getstackpcs: each frame link must go up the same stack by less than KSTACKSIZE. The chain ends at the syscall entry with the user's rbp, which lbreakouthd uses as a register (-1024); the walk dereferenced it under the syscall tracer and the kernel panicked inside acquire(). - fb: FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO reports nominal timings, as Linux's efifb does, instead of zeros, which Xorg's fbdev turned into a 0 Hz RandR mode. - procdump (Ctrl-P) shows where runnable threads are in user space. - World: lbreakouthd instead of lbreakout2 (its stk.c passes vsnprintf a size of 511 plus the prefix length, and Alpine's fortified headers trap on that), plus curl, alsa-lib and alsa-plugins.
