Hello, I sent the following to the ALSA list, but did not get any answer, so I repost it here, hoping anybody has delt with this before.
First, I noticed that the alsa rtctimer is not compiled when you have the RTC in your kernel as a module. The problem is in alsa-kernel/core/Makefile, where CONFIG_RTC is tested for y and not for m. Second, I like to know where can I find up-to-date documentation about how to use the rtc timer. The latest I find is a mail by Takashi, that is a year old, which says: Installation: Add the following lines in /etc/modules.conf: options snd-timer snd_timer_limit=2 alias snd-timer-1 snd-rtctimer For using RTC timer in sequencer as default: options snd-seq snd_seq_default_timer=1 This is not working anymore, because parameters changed. Starting sound driver: snd-emu10k1 done /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o: invalid parameter parm_snd_seq_default_timer /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o: invalid parameter parm_snd_seq_default_timer /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/acore/seq/snd-seq.o: insmod snd-seq-midi failed Also, is there any way (apart from 'listening') to know whether the rtctimer is used by the sequencer or not?
