Second problem with DSP-HLE:
If I set "NullSound" Pikmin 2 (EU) freeze at first screen. With "DSound" and
"OpenAL" works fine.

Third problem:
In Pikmin 2 I often hear sounds only from one side (for me this is left side). In
other games normal sounds.

Forth problem:

  1. Open Dolphin
  2. Set "Disable Streaming Music" to off (not check) (DSound)
  3. Run Super Smash Bro Brawl (at menu I have ~45FPS)
  4. Stop game
  5. Set "Disable Streaming Music" to on (check) (DSound)
  6. Run Super Smash Bro Brawl (at menu I have ~16FPS (!!!)) Why?

If I close Dolphin and open again, run game -> perfect emulate (~45FPS with "Disable
Streaming Music")

Fourth problem has nothing to do with streaming music, it's some leak we have... The
second time you play a game is generally slower...

build 3879:

DSound: Pikmin 2 (PAL) only shows black screen (FPS ~7500)
OpenAL: after the Dolby logo, I get an unknown upcode warning (0x3f) twice, then a
black screen (FPS ~500)
NullSound: hangs at Nintendo logo (before showing the Pikmin)

In build 3867, the game sometimes hangs at the Nintendo logo, but restarting the
game usually works fine. No problems at all when using DSound.

Let's ignore the other problems you mentioned and only concentrate on the one this
issue is about.

If the other issues are important and don't have reports already, open different
issues for them.

I confirm all this issues in
svn r4486 x32 x64 / r4525 x32 x64 / r4578 x64 x32 / r4593 x64 x32

Why Null sound not working? I don't understand why but I have idea: maybe use Null
Sound as DSound then replace commands for emulate sound to nothing or something
similar?

It is quite understandable why Nullsound isn't working, because some game depends on
the feedback of DSP to go on, Nullsound means Null-DSP, so the game hangs

Changed summary from "DSP-HLE Plugin problems with NullSound and OpenAL" to "Remove
NullSound backend".

Will close this after NullSound is removed.
