Since updating to kernel 2.6.35-r4, alsa-driver 1.0.23 fails to compile with error :

How about with 2.6.36?

[Comment 2 Jeremy Murphy 2010-11-03 12:15:33 UTC]

I can't reproduce this bug for 2.6.35-r12 on amd64; could you give us some details about your kernel configuration, Cedric?  Attach your .config I guess.  Thanks, cheers.

[Comment 3 Cedric 2010-11-03 13:06:05 UTC]

I'm usually not using "testing" kernels but I'll give it a try later. 

Note that I'm still using a 32 bits system.

I'll attach the .config files for 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 if it fails again (I didn't keep the last one).

Regards.

Thanks.  If you could do it soon that would be marvellous, as we want to stabilize 1.0.23 asap.  Cheers.

Created attachment 253351 [details]
.config for Kernel 2.6.35-r12

[Comment 6 Cedric 2010-11-05 21:07:52 UTC]

Config file attached. Still happening with 2.6.35-r12. I'll Try with 2.6.36 asap.

[Comment 7 Jeremy Murphy 2010-11-05 23:45:34 UTC]

Cedric, I'm so sorry, I totally overlooked the fact that you are talking about the *driver* and not libs or utils.  This is what happens when you try to work before coffee!  The driver package is unsupported.  Why aren't you using the in-kernel alsa driver?

[Comment 8 Cedric 2010-11-05 23:49:21 UTC]

I had some problems with ALSA a few monthes ago, so I installed it via portage to update it and I got used to do it.
I think I'll just continue using kernel 2.6.34 until alsa 1.0.24 is released.

Thanks anyway ;).

[Comment 9 Jeremy Murphy 2010-11-06 00:30:42 UTC]

I highly recommend trying to get in-kernel alsa working, because alsa-driver is not supported and will only create problems that we can't/won't help with.

[Comment 10 Cedric 2010-11-06 01:57:05 UTC]

I'll give it a try. ;)

Just an observation that snd-aloop should be coming in-kernel soon (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=597603d615d2b19a9e451d8cfac24372856a522d). Won't need external alsa-driver after that.
