Raine 0.97.2 : another hotfix !

[Tux]

For the soundcard detection and handling when there is more than 1 soundcard on the system !

All this went haywire because sdl2 SDL_OpenAudioDevice never returns 1 for compatibility with sdl1... !!!
And also the fact that I never had the opportunity to test on a proper system with 2 soundcards.

So if you have only 1 soundcard and everything works fine, no need to update this time !

hello

just for your own information, the latest xp-compatible version (if you replace the dlls, of course) is 0.97.1 (the .2 version definitively breaks this compatibility). After so many years, someone had to let you know ^^.

No idea how it was broken so I can't do anything about it, sorry ! I would love to have someone maintain the windows version, it would be a lot less troubles for me !

Actually there are very few patches between 0.97.1 and 0.97.2 of course since it's mainly about the sound problem alone, raine does nothing fancy in this version, just calling sdl2 functions which were not called before, so I guess your incompatibility comes from there.

But as explained before there is nothing much to do about it after a certain point, Microsoft does this willingly, they do nothing to maintain their old versions, not even security patches, and keep on adding new kernel functions to the new versions which are then used by some libraries. After a while the new functions become unavoidable and you have an incompatibility.
