Source: alsaequal Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream Dear Maintainer,
the $(LDFLAGS) in the Makefile, containing -lasound, should come after the .o objects in the final linking to be sure it is linked against the .so (the libasound is present in the ELF tables/things/whatever). Actually, with my current version of Debian (testing), this is not a problem, but for a popular 'derivative distribution', it is. When using the equalizer with PulseAudio (my fingers almost burned while typing this!), this beast cannot load the .so because it is not linked to libasound. So I don't know if it's the right place for a bug report, but I have to do it somewhere. The upstream (www.thedigitalmachine.net) does not exist anymore, and I don't feel like I want to be in more contact with the 'derivative distribution'. The patch is very simple. Edit Makefile and put $(LDFLAGS) at the end of the two lines where it is used. I apalogize by advance if this is the wrong place to report the bug (which is non-existing in my current Debian setup). But I struggled a lot with it because of another bug in alsa-lib (they don't use dlerror when loading a library so we don't see why it fails). Anyway, there it is. Have a nice day! By the way, it's all the fault of people from Mozilla who seem to have decided that talking to ALSA was too... something, and now only use the P..A.. beast (my fingers don't need more pain today).
