If watching any video with mplayer and alsa from -arch (1.0.12_rc1) through dmix, pausing it at any point produces alsa-pause: pcm pause error: Input/output error After resuming, it produces big noise, which depends how long video was paused (longer pause > longer noise) and in console is written: alsa-resume: pcm resume error: Input/output error. Then video continue playing. Its already reported in ALSA bugtracking system (#2292) with attached patch. Its up to you to decide, if fix should be added to portage or not. Thanks
My eardrums would thank for a gentoo-sources in-kernel driver fix as well :)
Is this still an issue with 1.0.12/1.0.13 ?
in-kernel gentoo-sources 2.6.18 has it fixed at least. Can't tell myself about alsa-drivers one :(
Considering fixed, as 1.0.13 should be later than 2.6.18.
