Hi, I have been using OSS lately and have been very pleased with it. Its driver support is phenomenal, and Freenode's #oss is very helpful.
After updating from a snapshot from 2008-07-01 to 2008-09-06, I began seeing strange kernel oopses on one of my boxes. I use Wine to play Team Fortess 2, and even running Wine at all (it is configured to use OSS) caused the whole system to crash. I traced the problem back to OSS, but was confused because ossrecord and ossplay worked perfectly. Even starting syslog-ng would give a (nonfatal) kernel oops, so it seems to be quite a low level bug at first glance. Reverting to the freshly built 2008-07-01 snapshot works fine, even with the new changes in my build script. Unloading the OSS modules was the easiest way to get a (nonfatal) oops, as it would do so constently. After spending a few hours reverting back to older builds and trying to find which change broke it, I decided that I should just post a bug report for it (I would love to help diagnose what broke this exactly, but I am quite busy). Bugzilla gave a Perl error when I tried to register, so I was refered to this list by cesium (who was also very helpful giving suggestions and assistance with Mercurial usage). Here is the oops: ftp://icadyptes.go-beyond.org/other/oss-opps.txt My build script: ftp://icadyptes.go-beyond.org/icadyptes/abs/extra/multimedia/oss/PKGBUILD I did enough testing to say that the problem was inserted between 2008-07-01 and 2008-08-13 (for some reason, many dates did not work to revert back to in Mercurial). Let me know if you need any more information or someone to test patches. Thanks, Teran (sega01) _______________________________________________ oss-devel mailing list oss-devel@mailman.opensound.com http://mailman.opensound.com/mailman/listinfo/oss-devel
