Older blog entries for ericp (starting at number 5)

Kept on improving the PCM converter in MSACM DLL. Rate conversion is now in place, and working (but still not as fast as it should be ; maybe one day, I'll rewrite it using fixed point math instead of floating point).

Advanced a bit the debugging stuff (fixed anyway a couple of bugs), but not sure if my lazy symbol loading stuff is a reasonable feature... still requires some thinking. Got a bug report from latest gcc which breaks Wine's debugger stabs parsing. Will require a major rewrite.

I've been trying to fix a strange bug in Media Player (probably memory corruption, but doesn't appear when relay debugging is turned on...). Sigh, sounds like hunting ain't over yet.

Shall be shortly on vacation. No Wine in sight... hopefully.

Found some time to do some more Wine hacking. Added some PCM conversion routines to MSACM ; far from being finished, but still better than nothing.

Fixed a regression in exception handling code (debugger was frozen).

Still haven't finished long standing patches in my tree (lazy symbol loading in the debugger to decrease startup time ; final MMIO fixes - François Jacques fixed some of them, but a few remain, sigh). Also discussed a lot with François Jacques who is running into interesting issues in multimedia code (mainly the recording part, which has been poorly tested... more patches to come it seems).

Ove resurfaced after the Linux Kongress, and since the mailing issues seem to be over, the "Keeping Track of Wine section" in Wine Weekly News should be available again.

Less and less time to hack Wine... sigh this means more spent on other subjects... who said girl(s) ?

Found anyway some interesting bugs (loader, DIB drawing...); fixes are underway.

Also installed on Winehq Dimi's tool to track cvs commits as a whole... nice tool, still needs some more polish

Uwe also asked that winedbg (wine debugger) can also compile as a pure Win32 app... this means more hacking on the way.

Back from vacation (yurk)

Back to Wine hacking (lots of multimedia issues to sort out)

Back to work (re-yurk)

Yesterday I finished some Wine loader fixes... Windows Media player is now (at least, sigh) able to stream audio content (asf/asx) files. But (yurk) there are still some winsock issues to iron out... Not so much time to spend on Wine lately, but vacation will be here soon (yeah!!)

Did some more testing on some new wine debugger features. May be I'll submit that tomorrow, when I have time.
