Space Station Lambda

About a month ago, sfxr was released.

sfxr is an easy-to-use synthesizer for retro game effects. The author originally wrote it for Microsoft Windows, but an SDL port apparently was a simple thing. With this port, we GNU/Linux users can use it, too. Unfortunately, the port didn’t work on my system; it failed to start when trying to initialize the audio subsystem:

[!] main.cpp:1167  !SDL_OpenAudio(&des, __null)

It turned out that the initialization routine was missing one parameter. I fixed it, and here’s the patch:

--- main.cpp.old        2008-01-24 13:54:01.000000000 +0100
+++ main.cpp    2008-01-24 13:52:37.000000000 +0100
@@ -1164,6 +1164,7 @@ void ddkInit()
        des.channels = 1;
        des.callback = SDLAudioCallback;
        des.userdata = NULL;
+       des.samples = 4096;
        VERIFY(!SDL_OpenAudio(&des, NULL));
        SDL_PauseAudio(0);
 #endif

I’ll try to put up a static binary later.
