Bug 1283

Summary: infinite loop in PULSE_OpenAudio when given an invalid format
Product: SDL Reporter: jon
Component: audioAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P1    
Version: 1.2.14   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description jon 2011-08-21 10:22:51 UTC 
in src/audio/pulse/SDL_pulseaudio.c:PULSE_OpenAudio if a format is passed in that the driver cannot accept (anything other than AUDIO_U8, AUDIO_S16LSB, AUDIO_S16MSB) then the loop on line 407 will repeat forever.

Either the for loop should set test_format to something else in the 3rd expression of the loop or a for loop shouldn't be used at all since its only looping over one element.

Bumping priority on a few bugs that I would like examined more closely before 1.2.15 is finalized. This is not a promise that a bug will be fixed. We may close it with WONTFIX or WORKSFORME or something, but I just want to make sure attention is paid.

This is now fixed in hg changeset 9722c8d475c0 for the 1.2 branch (1.3 didn't need this fix).

Thanks!
