Description Naohiro Aota gentoo-dev 2013-07-18 09:19:05 UTC
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.27 have a issue described in the URL which cause pulseaudio abort like this:

> pulseaudio: pcm.c:2719: snd_pcm_area_copy: Assertion `dst < src || dst >= src + bytes' failed.
> [1]    2309 abort (core dumped)  pulseaudio

As noted in the URL, just a "skipping video with audio in smplayer2 using the arrow keys" easily cause the fault. This is quite annoying.

Thankfully, the issue is already solved with this commit:

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2d39afe6139ab16aa2aeea0f51f32db79ab1262 

I had had this issue for a while, applied this patch and stay with patched alsa-lib-1.0.27 having no further crash. So could you consider applying the above patch please?

...or we could make it a version bump to 1.0.27.2.
