For anyone using pySonic and pyOgre (Jason and his Golem engine, for example), have you had any problems with pySonic crashes caused by StreamCallbacks? I have written a simple pure python (non-threaded) sound manager as part of my pyOgre-based game engine but am suffering from python crashes at the end of each sample. I thought it was my code but have since pared it back to the simplest of pySonic examples.
As written, this crashes python after the StreamCallback prints 'stream ended'. If I uncomment the sleep(0.1) statement, crashes disappear (or become vanishingly infrequent). With the small time.sleep(0.001) uncommented, I get crashes about 25% of the time. Commenting out the callback fixes the problem at the cost of having to poll sounds to see if they are still active or not.
As I said, the above is a contrived example, but its essentially what happens when running the pyogre event loop.
System configuration is: python 2.4, pySonic 0.8, FMOD 3.75, WinXP, 3GHz dual-core intel P4 machine.
Any advice is much appreciated ...
Cheers,
Darran.
import pySonic
import time
# define a callback function
flag = False
def stream_done(source):
global flag
flag = True
print 'stream ended'
# create world and source; prepare audio
w = pySonic.World()
src = pySonic.Source()
src.Sound = pySonic.FileStream('test.wav')
# comment this out to stop crashes ... but also no notification
src.SetEndStreamCallback(stream_done)
# play until callback
src.Play()
while not flag:
#time.sleep(0.001)
#time.sleep(0.1)
pass
