Package: snes9x-x
Version: 1:1.5-1
Severity: normal
Using snes9x with the ALSA OSS wrapper aoss causes a segfault if snes9x
is used with joystick support. The config parser reads the joystick
devices with
js_device[x]=conf.GetStringDup("Unix::JoydevX", NULL);
causing js_device[x] to be set to NULL if the option is not set in
config. This overwrites the default values "/dev/jsX". snes9x then passes
these NULL values to the open()-call later when it tries to open the
joystick devices which causes a segfault in the ALSA OSS wrapper. The
normal open()-call seems to handle this without a crash.
Quickfix: Add JoydevX entries for all 8 joysticks in the config.
This may also be a bug in alsa-oss, it shouldn't segfault on NULL
pointers.
