Bug 5800 – ALSA 0.9.0rc2 breaks snd-powermac on iBook2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Lee 2002-07-30 19:19:15 UTC]

alsa-driver 0.9.0rc1 worked properly for me if I edited the file  
alsa-kernel/ppc/keywest.c and added in an '#include <asm/delay.h>' with the  
other include files. After making that change, and then the usual 'make; make  
install' ALSA worked properly for me. However, after upgrading to 0.9.0rc2, no 
sound comes out of either the headphones or the speakers. Period. Playing with 
mixer settings doesn't help. Programs seem to think that they're outputting 
sound, but nothing comes out of the speakers at all.

It has been masked for now until we can test further (I can't/don't use alsa
currently).\

Taking bug, known issue with 0.9 on ppc according to OlafH

alsa 0.9.0_rc3 won't compile, it hangs compiling gus, I'll check things a bit
better when I have time

Thanks Lapo, alsa has been a long standing battle on PPC in the first place.  I
have had reports that rc3 is not very PPC happy from other PPC distro makers :(

This won't be fixed, we will have to wait for upstream to get issues sorted out
as its very complicated
