There is a bug in the 0.9.0_rc6 release of the ice1712 which hard locks SMP machines when the module is loaded. See the following for a patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05318.html Please consider either applying this patch or masking rc6.
I'll look at it. Thanks.
Okay, the patch is in the CVS. THanks again.
Ryan, I just committed rc7 of the package. I figured that the bug may be gone by now. Could you please test?
The lockup bug seems to be gone; at least I had no problems. However, there are some other issues which I need to post to the ALSA list when I get a chance: RealAudio plays too fast, and the sliders on the envy24control app don't work.
