#9403 closed Bug Report (fixed)

Mythmusic doesn't properly handle failure to open audio device

Description

mythmusic should handle properly when the audio device failed to be opened.

Right now it just assumes that everything is always good.

the comment: TODO: Error checking that device is opened correctly! (it has been there for almost 4 years :) )

This causes several issues later on from segfault to floating point exception (such as requesting timecode when the samplerate is == 0).

When OpenAudio? returns an error, no member of the class should ever be called.

I have put some handling to prevent some of the issues, but those are fixes for a situation that should never have occurred anyway.

I would have done so myself if it wasn't so tightly link to what the whole code is doing.

as such, the original author is the best person to do so...

I added a message to nag the user of the audio framework for not doing things properly!
