Description
Latest Win64 nightly Chivalry is not dead from this page: http://www.deirdrakiai.com/my-games/#chivalry
1) The footsteps sounds are not right. Many are missed as you walk the character around, and also it sounds different than the original, more like a bigger knocking sound rather than a normal walking sound.
2) there is a frequent POP noise that sounds like it occurs when looping the cricket sound, when standing in front of the guard.

Please test whether you can reproduce this bug with the latest daily SVN build which you can find at the bottom of our downloads page: <http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php>.

The popping is fixed. My ears are grateful ! :-)
The footsteps seem to be a bit better, but still off compared to the original. In the original there is one step sound per step, whereas in ScummVM, the footsteps sounds seem to be a bit lagging and irregular : they go toc-toc--------toc-----toc-toc------toc etc instead of being even.

There is the same lagging problem with the footsteps sounds in Dirty Split.

As far as I can test, they seem to be correct, and even, the only step that was missed was if I changed direction at the correct moment. To be sure, I used ctrl-f5->options to reduced the music (chirps), and increase the sfx-volume.
I did get one double-step, but presumably this stemmed from a step cut short as the actor reached his destination.

Just tried again with a recent build and I still get some missed footsteps sounds. The way the footsteps sounds come out (or not) seems quite random too.
Personally, I get double-steps about 50% of the time, walking in a straight line (in Chivalry and Dirty Split). No such issue with the original executables.
And as I mentioned, the footsteps sounds are lagging/late for me. You don't get a nice and clean 1 sound per step at the right time (when the foot hits the ground) like in the original (Chivalry and Dirty Split).
In fact, I've found that for me, every sound in ScummVM's WME is delayed by roughly 500ms.
But - after some testing I've just found out that I have the same exact issue in other engines, like in Full Throttle or Bargon Attack. Only in ScummVM, the originals are fine. So either it's my system, or there is a common audio problem.
Found this, maybe it's related:
5837 SDL mixer output buffer size warning
https://sourceforge.net/p/scummvm/bugs/5837/
The warning I get is: WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 11028 differs from desired: 4096!
So according to LordHoto's comment on that bug, that may explain the lag.

Would you happen to have any other computer/OS to test this on? It's looking like it's not an issue with WME from what you tell me.

Yes it's clear now that it's not a WME issue. Did some testing with my laptop, also win7 64 based => same problem. Tested with a Win32 nightly of ScummVM, idem.
But, I've found that the sound lag - and the SDL buffer warning - are not present in 1.6. I couldn't test WME of course, but FT and BA are free of sound lags. So it seems to be an issue with the nightly builds, at least the Win 32 and Win 64 ones.

As the WME sound issue is fixed, this can be closed. I have posted a new bug report about the SDL audio lag:

Should be fixed now. Could you please verify?
