Description of problem: When using default configuration I currently find that warzone2100 crashes at startup, although I believe it has worked for me in the recent past under Fedora 12 on the same system. A self-compiled version of Black Shades Elite (http://home.gna.org/blackshadeselite/) exhibited crackles and pops in audio playback with the default configuration, plus trouble closing the audio device connection at exit, which prompted me to investigate the interaction of OpenAL and PulseAudio. This page suggested that OpenAL now supports PulseAudio directly: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Configuration_of_OpenAL_for_PulseAudio so I changed my ~/.alsoftrc to include the line "drivers = pulse". This resolved both the crash of Fedora's WarZone 2100 and the audio problems with my Black Shades Elite. I am not sure whether the underlying bug here is in PulseAudio, in PulseAudio's ALSA emulation, in OpenAL or in WarZone 2100. But I do wonder if OpenAL might be able to use PulseAudio by default in future? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version : 1.10.622 Release : 6.0ceaa01c3de75c946ff2e7591e7f69b28ec00409git.fc12 How reproducible: Every time WarZone 2100 is started with default configuration. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install WarZone 2100 with fresh Fedora 12 install. 2. Run it - segmentation fault on startup. Actual results: Crash. Expected results: Successful startup with audio. Additional info: I have the RPM Fusion free repository and the adobe-linux-i386 repositories enabled on this system. I am using the KDE desktop. System was installed from the x86_64 Live KDE spin.
Upstream have fix that with pulseaudio in the .alsoftrc. I will pusg an new version of it on the next days. But i don´t know whether it will fix the warzone problem.

Please test it with this version :)
(In reply to comment #3) > Please test it with this version :) Hi Thomas, I installed the updates and removed my ~/.alsoftrc. Warzone2100 now doesn't crash and audio is glitch-free with Black Shades Elite, so I guess the update has done the trick - thanks for the quick response :-) Cheers, Mark
No problem and thank you for testing :)
