Loading soundfonts doesn't work with 2.6.5x kernels Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a 2.6.5x kernel (gentoo-dev-sources or development-sources) 2. load a soundfont (for example sfxload /usr/share/your_soundfont.sf2) 3. Actual Results: sfxload will hang and its impossible to kill it Expected Results: load the soundfont and exit Portage 2.0.50-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207-r0, 2.6. 5-gentoo) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.6 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=athlon-xp -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -fexpensive-optimizations -falign-functions=16 -falign-jumps=16 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3. 2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=athlon-xp -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fforce-addr -fexpensive-optimizations -falign-functions=16 -falign-jumps=16 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs buildpkg ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo http: //www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/portage/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups directfb encode esd fbcon foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 guile imlib java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww linguas_de lirc mad mikmod mmx monkey motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls ntpl oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime radeon readline samba scanner sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype video_cards_radeon x86 xfs xml2 xmms xv zlib zvbi"

Could you try mm-sources? It has the bk pull from the alsa tree. I'd be interested to see if that nails down any errors.
$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.4. Compiled on Apr 16 2004 for kernel 2.6.6-rc1. still no luck .....
Which version of alsa-utils are you using?
* media-sound/alsa-utils Latest version available: 1.0.4 Latest version installed: 1.0.4
hmm don't know if it does matter: sfxload -- load SoundFont on OSS AWE32 sound driver ver.0.5.0b copyright (c) 1996-2003 by Takashi Iwai no problem with 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 (compiled alsa-driver 1.0.4 against it)
Seeing how it works on 2.6.4 and not 2.6.5, this is something for upstream. We don't patch alsa at all, except for alsa-drivers. Please head to http://bugme.osdl.org and post a bug there. If possible link back to this thread. They'd be better able to debug this.
