Flac playback hickups on new version.

[_mental_]

These was an upgrade of FMOD Ex version. As we don't have access to library's source code, can't say what was changed exactly. Certainly newer versions require bigger streaming buffer.

Any way I can solve this myself then? or is it something the Zdoom creator must actually implement?
I can't really expect those who'll play the mega-wad to tinker around with custom builds etc. =)

In the next ZDoom devbuild there will be snd_streambuffersize CVAR added. You need to play with its value a bit. Changing it from 64 to 128 solved the hickups on your test for me.

Ah, so will this cvar be included in the next official build?

This post is set to addressed, but high quality flac music still wont play back without hickups with the new version of zdoom or gzdoom since the updated fmedex.
I tried setting the mentioned snd_streambuffersize to 128 - which does not seem to make any difference for me.

Last tried with 64bit version 2.9.1117

I propose to make stream buffer size user customizable, like this.

Have you tried that?

I tried with snd_streambuffersize 128 and also tried -snd_streambuffersize 128
I placed this in the 'Extra command line arguments' when I'm using ZDL - this is the correct approach? please correct me if I messed that up

oh - and its also an ingame setting - but it seem when I tried it it did nothing to the playback - but I now tried to set it - restart the game then play - and it appears to work that way..
I'm now on zdoom 2.9.1117 - I'll quickly try also with the gzdoom..

Aaah - it works!
I guess that has worked for quite some time then.. but I mistook it for a command line parameter.
I guess Cvar means console variable - and not command variable.. sorry that I didn't understand this earlier.. - thanks a lot Graf - I'm very happy to have the music playing back right again.. as it's a fairly important part of the mod I work on
