I was getting NULL pointer derefs with ALSA 0.9.0rc3 and CVS, and my Thinkpad 600E..
After much trying of different versions, and a bit of poking in to the source, I figured out it was because ALSA is not including linux/autoconf.h at all, so it's not getting the CONFIG_PM define, and thus not filling in some _much needed_ function pointers. Simple [verified] solution is to #include "linux/autoconf.h" I should note that I'm using Linux 2.4.x, and compiling ALSA separately (is there any way to patch 2.4.x with ALSA?) -and now for something completely different- I also noticed that ALSA requires the kernel's soundcore.o in this setup, which does not create proper devfs devices (on my desktop, with two sound cards, it tries to create lots and lots of devices with the same name -- bad mojo.) Editing alsa-kernel/core/oss/Makefile, alsa-kernel/core/oss/sound_oss.c, and soft linking a few files provides a workaround by using ALSA's soundcore.o, but it's far from elegant.. Is there a reason I shouldn't be using ALSA's soundcore.o with 2.4.x? and are there patches for Linux 2.4.x's soundcore.o to make it create proper devfs names with ALSA? -- Zinx Verituse ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
