i would be too certain of this conclusion. i spent many a long night and day and night tracking down places in the audioengine code that had overrun the mmapped areas. i was only ever to track things down by generating huge log files that detailed every byte i wrote, and then use perl and awk to digest them. i'm not saying its not a problem in ALSA, only that its unlikely at this point. what have you done to ensure that its not your code? do you completely avoid writing data to the mapped areas? --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
