Bugzilla Bug 227043

media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.17_rc1 was released on 2008-06-03.
media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.17_rc1 was released on 2008-06-06.
media-sound/alsa-firmware-1.0.17_rc1 was released on 2008-06-03.
media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.17_rc1 was released on 2008-06-03.
media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.17_rc1 was released on 2008-06-03.

I was waiting for 1.0.17 release candidate 2, as several important fixes were
missed. (This was a result of the migration from the ALSA repository from
Mercurial/HG to git, in case it interests you)

Sorry, awaiting RC3 due to faulty tarball; the directory name for alsa-lib is
1.0.7rc2 instead of 1.0.17rc2 as it should be. Also, I am seeing an SHM-related
build failure:

Not committing what I have as the dependencies are all interlinked. Please
reopen the bug once RC3 is out.

Alsa project released RC3 (I cannot reopen the bug). It's a driver only
release, but they fixed the alsa-lib rc2 tarball.

Currently I have no sound under 2.6.26-rc8, is it because I need this alsa-lib
for 2.6.26, or I should search elsewhere?

There were some ebuilds attached here so might want to take a look.

I haven't thoroughly tested these, but they all install on my system. I updated
all the dependencies appropriately.

There's a little catch about alsa-plugins:
ffmpeg with headers in new locations doesn't get detected
(and probably the plugin wouldn't compile with it too).

Please don't identical copies of existing ebuilds. Just state that the current
ebuilds worked for you.

betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/media-libs/alsa-oss $ diff -u
alsa-oss-1.0.15.ebuild  attachment.cgi\?id\=161797
betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/media-libs/alsa-oss $

New ebuilds committed. Thanks chutzpah.

Not to complain too much, but unless I'm missing something,
alsa-plugins-1.0.17 doesn't go straight to stable,
so it blocking more recent versions of ffmpeg
doesn't look like a good idea, not after all the work
done by video team to move as many packages as possible
to the new header layout.

You are. The old versions don't work with new ffmpeg versions either. I
adjusted the deps there too.
