Hi! Well, this is my first entry so please be gentle. I've got a problem using alsa with a Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS. There is no surround.Stereo works. This is the error: speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4 speaker-test 1.0.12rc1 Playback device is plug:surround40 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 4 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 64 to 16384 Period size range from 16 to 16384 Using max buffer size 16384 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 4096 was set buffer_size = 16384 Unable to set hw params for playback: Unpassender IOCTL (I/O-Control) f

Please report this upstream (www.alsa-project.de) because it sounds like an ALSA generic problem. Anyway, you might also have a broken system because of -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (that should _not ever_ be passed through C[XX]FLAGS).
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 was the problem. I should have checked this before. Sorry.
