[Alsa-devel] A bug or feature in PCM handling or is it really meant to be this way?

2003-08-27 Thread Adrian McMenamin
I have been working on writing an ALSA driver for the Sega Dreamcast AICA sound system (PCM). But I have noticed that 2.6.0-test2 will not build for PCM unless the OSS PCM emulation is turned on? Is that the way it is meant to be? If so, why different options in the kbuild process? Adrian

I'm planning to use arecord for serious harddisk recording, but it can't write files bigger than 2BG. After browsing through kernel mailing lists about LFS I concluded that the problem is arecord, not the underlying filesystem (and since I've had 8GB files on it :). I looked at the code, but

You can almost certainly just add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE to the CFLAGS in the Makefile. (it would be good if this was default on 32bit platforms). Thanks. This did the trick. Tommi --- This sf.net email is sponsored
