to have serious problems with ALSA, as I mentioned (and others
confirmed) in a previous thread. Someone said they fixed it by
updating to the latest RC7 release of ALSA. Someone please confirm
this will be fixed.
That's what the message said =). I presume they just downloaded all the stuff that was current on the site when the message was sent. Let me find it:
"I have found a solution to that problem : updating alsa to the latest RC7 release. The sound then works perfectly with mplayer after recompiling alsaRC7 myself, using the source of the latest kernel (2.4.21.0.11mdk). It recompiled without any problem."
(comment on Bugzilla bug 2432, which isn't exactly my problem, but is
clearly another problem with the ALSA in the current kernel).
I am the author of the message :) Thanks for the help !
Alsa is now released as RC7, but Mandrake kernel is still using RC6. I had problems with audio using snd-emu10k1 so far. But recompiling the latest RC7 myself solved the problem.
However, I did not try to recompile the RC6, so I do not know if it is a problem of versions or of some options used to compile.
I compiled ALSA with default options : ./configure, make and make install. No special options, it installed like a charm, and solved all problems (choppy sound with -ao oss and -ao alsa9).
Since emu10k1 is very used, I recommend it to be corrected.
Please vote for that bug 2432, since it has only one vote (mine), it is still "unconfirmed". Another vote will make it "confirmed".
