Doomsday Engine

Hmm, mine wasn't that random. It crashed exactly on the 3rd time the midi was about to repeat. Using an older version of SDL_Mixer.dll (1.2.8) seemed to fix this. How can I force this process affinity?

"Seemingly random" in that to a user there does not seem to be a logical pattern; i.e., it does not crash every time the music repeats.

I was wrong, the older library did not fix this. But I noticed it happens with the same midi all the time (the one from E1L6 - Cathedral)

If you don't want to limit Doomsday to a single core, you can write a plugin which plays non-MIDI sounds through native audio interfaces (DirectSound, ALSA,..) and uses SDL_mixer for MIDI only, and runs it out-of-process (like Chromium runs its plugins). For music, latency shouldn't be noticeable. IIRC linuxdoom also used a separate process for sounds (sndserv). Just an idea.

Reduced priority as the default audio was switched to FMOD.

Apparently this may be caused by an asynchronous callback: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1180033#post1180033
