Bug 98607 – bug fix for ALSA driver in libao-0.8.5 and libao-0.8.6-r1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Heikki Orsila 2005-07-10 16:12:45 UTC]

See my bug fix for:

 http://trac.xiph.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/683

The patch at

  http://shd.ton.tut.fi/patches/libao-0.8.6-alsa09-signal-fix.diff

fixes a signal problem in 0.8.6-r1. Pasting my libao report here:

ALSA driver in libao 0.8.6 is buggy. When catching a SIGINT (ctrl-c) during writei() the ALSA framework returns -EINTR. It causes libao to print "ALSA write error: Interrupted system call" and exit() with error. Unfortunately SIGINT is not a terminal condition, and thus it (and other signals) should be handled properly.

The libao people have now fixed the bug:

I don't know when they are going to release next version, but I would appreciate
if gentoo included the patch now.

I fail to see the patch in portage. Where was it left?

[Comment 6 Heikki Orsila 2005-12-16 13:17:40 UTC]

Reopening the bug because the patch is not in the bz2 patch file.

[Comment 7 Heikki Orsila 2005-12-16 13:19:12 UTC]

Oh sorry. I didn't see the patch. Marked as fixed again.
