I tried to switch to in-kernel alsa as per the latest recommendations of the Gentoo alsa team. I had no other problem, except that media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1 won't compile when in-kernel alsa is enabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable ALSA in kernel config 2. emerge media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1 3. emerge stops with error Actual Results: >>> Source unpacked. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules ... make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21-klight6' CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.o In file included from /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:50: /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/../include/linux/em8300.h:269: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘snd_card_t’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c: In function ‘adv717x_setup’: /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:573: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:575: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:580: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:585: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:586: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:588: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ /var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.c:591: error: ‘struct em8300_s’ has no member named ‘card_nr’ make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules/adv717x.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/media-video/em8300-modules-0.16.0-r1/work/em8300-0.16.0/modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.21-klight6' make: *** [build] Error 2 !!!

Expected Results: Without ALSA enabled in the kernel, the modules build fine. So it works when the external alsa-drivers ebuild is used, but that is only a workaround, and this ebuild gives warning that is likely to be removed in the future, hence I want to switch to in-kernel ALSA.

I don't have this hardware anymore. Reassign in hopes someone has.
It does work with vanilla- and gentoo-sources, please try one of those. Klight-sources are not in the tree and thus are not supported. Sorry I can't help you here but I do hope gentoo-sources supply every feature you need too. Please reopen if you have the same problem with one of our kernel-source packages. Greetings, Marc.
Unfortunately I get the same exact error with kernel sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r3 and with vanilla-sources-2.6.21.5. It does build correctly with sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r8, so it's apparent that the problem is something with the 2.6.21 tree. I'm reopening, it will be a problem when 2.6.21 gets stable.
Quoting the changelog from upstream: "2007-03-16 Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org> * include/linux/em8300.h, modules/em8300_alsa.c: Fix compatibility with ALSA in linux kernel 2.6.21. Thanks to Ville Skyttä who spotted the problem. * modules/em8300_eeprom.c: Fix compatibility with linux kernel 2.6.21 by using the new crypto_hash functions. Thanks to "nyk" who spotted the problem." I think a rev bump to the latest upstream version 0.16.2 would resolve this.
Weird. Nevertheless, version bumped in cvs. Please check and open a new bug on 0.16.2 if you encounter any problem. And thanks for the bug report! Cheers, Marc.
Thanks, just one note, em8300-libraries should be bumped to the same exact version as well, as they build from the same tarball and have em8300-modules as version specific dependency. em8300-libraries are necessary to initialize the em8300 based decoder and to upload the microcode.
Should have mentioned it, I bumped both ;)
