i updated to alsa-lib-1.0.14a and now playing an audio file ends up like this: # aplay 02\ system\ of\ a\ down\ -\ b.y.o.b..wav JACK tmpdir identified as [/var/run/jack] Playing WAVE '02 system of a down - b.y.o.b..wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo aplay: set_params:900: Sample format non available with alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc3 everything is fine! Direct output to jack itself works for some seconds, and the it plays with dropouts (it's like someone is pressing pause and play all the time). But this is another story since this behavior is the same with alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc3. i found this here by google: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34396 sounds like a proper solution, but i don't know if the --with-softfloat option is passed to configure or how to change this behavior. could someone try this out or tell me how to try it? thanks in advance! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: install alsa-lib-1.0.14a and use the alsa pcm plugin for output to jack.

If you take a closer look at your emerge --info output, you'll notice the USE_EXPAND ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS .. >ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty > extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null > plug rate route share shm softvol" That variable indeed contains lfloat.
Reported upstream as issue 0003209 (https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3209)
Just committing an updated ebuild to the tree with the necessary modifications to configure.in. Please wait up about an hour and sync again, update to alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1 and see if that fixes your issue with jack.
