>Description:

I believe there is a pointer arithmatic error in line 965 of ugen.c .
The entire piece of code reads :

961:    /* throw away oldest input if the buffer is full */
962:    if(sce->fill < sce->cur && sce->cur <=3D sce->fill + count) {
963:            sce->cur +=3D count;
964:            if(sce->cur >=3D sce->limit)
965:                    sce->cur =3D sce->ibuf + (sce->limit - sce->cur);
966:            DPRINTFN(5, ("ugen_isoc_rintr: throwing away %d bytes\n",
967:                        count));
978:    }

count gets added to sce->cur .
if the pointer equals/exceeds the end of the buffer, we move it to the
beginnen of the buffer (plus the X bytes it was past the end).

If sce->cur exceeds sce->limit, (sce->cur - sce->limit) would be a negati=
ve
value. (resulting in a sce->cur pointer sitting X bytes before the beginn=
ing
of the buffer)


>How-To-Repeat:
        n/a

>Fix:

--- ugen.c.diff begins here ---
965c965
<                       sce->cur =3D sce->ibuf + (sce->limit - sce->cur);
---
>                       sce->cur =3D sce->ibuf + (sce->cur - sce->limit);
--- ugen.c.diff ends here ---
