hi! some time back there has been a similar bug report about the same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01675.html with no response ... so i will be a bit more verbose :)
it have this problem on all computers (Athlon, P3, P4, Cleron) i have access to. all of them have different sound cards (SB128, SB Live, AC97 Via686 and AC97 on a i845) and on all of them i have used various 0.9 betas of alsa and versions of the linux kernel (2.4.5 to 2.4.18). no problem with the oss driver i have done a strace run of rtcw and found some interesting things: somewhere rtcw opens the dsp device: open("/dev/dsp", O_RDWR) = 16 but i cant find the coresponding close(16) this are the last lines of output (process locks here): write(2, "----- CL_Shutdown -----\n", 24) = 24 write(2, "-----------------------\n", 24) = 24 fcntl64(0, F_GETFL) = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) fcntl64(0, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 write(2, "Shutdown tty console\n", 21) = 21 ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_STOP, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 _exit(0) = ? i dont know much about kernel internals - but isnt _exit a kernel syscal that is supposed to close all open devices? so what kind of bug is this? rtcw? alsa? kernel? this is a very anoying bug for me and it would be nice if someone could help me with this problem. i have even mada a panel button to kill the hanging processes :) tia, michael. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
