Well, assertions are nice, but useless. It's a bug in the kernel module if it produces completely unexpected results after an option is changed - if such results are expected, then that expectation needs to be documented *somewhere*. > secondly this i not the way you'll get alsa userland support You're free to clone and/or reassign the bug to the right alsa userland packages. > thirdly your message did mention that you even *tried* current 2.6.25 The Documentation/sound/alsa/ that I checked was with 2.6.25.4, so, yes, the problem applies to the current version. > candidate to closure unless you provide info that is is a kernel bug. Again with the closure... You really should read the manual regarding how to deal with bug reports. For example, http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-bug-handling -- 2.
