set audio buffer size? (4)

hi people!

I have been looking for this in mighty google but haven't managed to find anything regarding this. There are all sorts of command line options for configuring the video output (with schismtracker –help) but there's only the -a option for changing the audio driver.

My current output sounds very cracked, it's asking for an increase in the audio buffer but I don't have a clue about how to do such thing. It doesn't show in the preferences either, or there is a hidden preferences screen which I am not aware of.

I tried with the 27th september version, using ubuntu and pulseaudio. I wonder if it's possible to use Jack since it really improves audio output (for example it works WAY better with Jack than with Alsa when using Renoise).

any advice or help? :-) thanks!

Right now you have to edit ~/.schism/config

Although you might have better luck using dmix or -a hw:0 with schism... pulse really quires a lot of latency...

hey Lissette, thanks a lot! I had seen several references to the config file but didn't know where was it - guess I need to tinker a bit more with linux.

I tried with a buffer size of 4096 and it's working way better now.

I also tried with schismtracker -a hw:0 but it couldn't find any suitable device (said "using no audio"). For now the pulse solution is fine, it's not like I'm doing any live act with schism or anything like that :)

thanks a lot!

Personally, I use the OSS driver because Alsa sucks on my system. (-a /dev/dsp)
