Bug 171573

Summary:	media-sound/lastfmplayer-1.1.3 no startup due to alsa issues
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Sebastian Krämer <mail>
Component:	Current packages	Assignee:	Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) <genstef>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	normal	CC:	matrixhax0r, sound
Priority:	High
Version:	2006.1
Hardware:	All
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---
Attachments:	strace -f output of lastfm execution

Description Sebastian Krämer 2007-03-20 15:01:44 UTC

After successful emerge, lasfm fails to start, it instantly returns to the prompt without giving any hint. gdb failed too. strace however gave a hint that it is related to trouble with the sound devices:

ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbf8db518) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

I found some issues with the sound devices here (bug #167229) and in the last.fm forums. But this issue is different in that the application doesn't even start up in my case.
I'll attach strace output, search for "ioctl". Also, I'll gladly provide further information or testing.

Reproducible: Always
