With 0.9.6 I experienced ice1712 driver hangups when I used two M-Audio cards connected together through SPDIF and the other card synced it's clock from SPDIF (Audiophile 2496 and 1010LT). Sometimes in envy24control the vu-meters freezed, and I needed to do /etc/init.d/alsa restart to get the cards to respond again. Sometimes the problem went away without restart when I tried to change the clock rate from envy24control, but the card didn't always respond, sometimes the clock changed fine and then the vu meters worked again. This, I think, caused also ecasound problems; it couldn't stop the recording and after killing the process I found out that it had not recorded anything even thougn the engine started fine. I quess the drivers were halted just after ecasound engine started, otherwise it might have reported some errors. (Btw Kai, if you read this, maybe ecasound could have some control ability to be sure that audio really get's written to harddisk. In my case it just wrote the wav headers.) I'm not sure if I used the cards right; modules.conf had settings for both cards, but when alsa started it reported the cards like this: Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.6): ice1712 (ice1712) so I'm not sure if the other card was properly set up. (I assume that the parenthesis means that driver has some problems. I get (via82xx) if the motherboard AC97 is disabled from bios, and without parenthesis when it is enabled) But still I was able to record from both cards simultaneously when they were not freezed, and the sample clocks were synced fine.

Kernel was 2.4.20 with LL patches. ------------------------------------------------------- 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
