Hi,
In trying to fix Wine's dsound implementation which uses mmap and
DSP_SND_GETOPTR to write data out to the driver, I uncovered what
appears to be a bug in the via82cxx_audio.c driver.
Specifically, via_sg_offset appears to return the number of bytes
not yet consumed within the current block; we use it to adjust from blocks
to a precise block count. However, it appears as though it returns 0
to indicate that no bytes have been consumed.
I was seeing results where I would get an OPTR return along the
lines of 0x1c00, 0x1e00, 0x2800, and then 0x2100. Needless to say,
having info.ptr go backwards causes Wine's code to have a serious
hissy fit.
The attached patch fixes the problem for me, but I would appreciate
review by an expert on this.
Cheers,
Jeremy
