When I upgrade to alsa-headers-1.0.9_rc2 and alsa-lib-1.0.9_rc2 from alsa-headers-1.0.8 and alsa-lib-1.0.8, the emerge goes fine. However, there is no sound right after the upgrade.

I get this too. It's probably because the current kernel ALSA version is 1.0.8 Changing back to 1.0.8 fixes it for now.
Curiously, on amd64 I have no problems at all. I'm using the emu10k1 driver from the kernel, built as a module. I'm using vanilla-sources-2.6.11.6. mplayer, xine and mpd work perfectly. $ emerge -pv alsa-headers alsa-utils alsa-lib These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

That is odd. I'm using the kernel sound module as well. Maybe it is a arch-specific bug.
Yes, I have the problem, but the only one problem I can used is xfmedia, so I think maybe xine is fine, but others failed, xmms, beep-media-player, muine, gmplayer and even gaim. this is a big problem for my box.
Happens to me, too. It seems to be an incompatibility between the kernel's ALSA modules and the 1.0.9_rc2 libs/headers.

well, I'm using ~x86 and all I can say right now is, that *all* ALSA-apps are broken. I try to re-emerge some of them and look what happens.
*** Bug 87521 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
i can't reproduce your problems. my hole system is compiled with sane CFLAGS settings (CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe") and it works fine. most of you have very aggressive CFLAGS, change to sane cflags and recompile your system. that will possibly fix a lot of your problems. Stefan Briesenick , sorry that i've got to say that but it is simply wrong that all of them are broken since it works fine here for me. Your CFLAGS are to aggressive.
My normal CFLAGS are "-O3 -march=pentium4 -msse2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer". I just recompiled alsa-lib with CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe" and did /etc/init.d/alsasound restart, then tried to play something with Beep Media Player, and got the kernel Oops still. My normal CFLAGS aren't that aggressive, so for some reason I don't think it's CFLAGS causing everyone's problem.
@Comment 16: Jan, if my CFLAGS are too aggressive, then ALSA 1.0.8 should be also broken. But it isn't! Ok, just for you: 1. having 1.0.8 installed and many ALSA apps 2. they're working perfectly, w/o any problems or segfaults 3. my whole system is compiled with my "aggressive" CFLAGS Now I emerge ALSA-LIBs 1.0.9_rc2... SegFaults. *EVERY* ALSA-Apps is crashing now. Now I downgrade again to 1.0.8 No SegFaults, everything is working again w/o any problems. So the *only* possible explanation is: ALSA-LIB 1.0.9 is broken on *MY* system. That may be a bad combination of Kernel+ALSA or my CFLAGS. Ok, just for you, I will re-emerge ALSA 1.0.9 with CFLAGS="-O2". If it works then, you have won. If not, my CFLAGS are not the problem. I tell you the result in a few minutes.
OK, I recompiled ALSA-LIB with just "-O2" and nothing else. It Segfaults *all* my ALSA-Apps. No matter if I try ogg123 via libao or aplay or aRts or OSS-Apps via aoss or XMMS or BMP or MPlayer ... or ... or ... Now I will re-emerge 1.0.8 with my "aggressive" CFLAGS and all my apps are working again. And now? CFLAGS are out. Next suggestion?
hey, one question: do you use dmix? I have a 6ch dmix-setup in my asoundrc. Perhaps something like that is broken...
I use no asoundrc or asound.conf at all.
no i don't use it. see the following: 01:24:51 < Flameeyes> just to know, with latest alsa, dmix configuration which was on wiki two weeks ago doesn't work 01:24:51 < Flameeyes> it used to use 'dmix' as name for the device 01:24:51 < Flameeyes> but in the latest alsa-lib dmix isn't a valid device name
Taking alsa support out of the kernel and emerging alsa-driver works for me. Segfaults are gone. My guess is there's some incompatibility between alsa versions.
My CFLAGS are CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" which are basically the same as yours. Sorry, I'm not buying that it's a CFLAG issue.
Well this is the same of bug #87544 (I missed this yesterday night, else i'd have already told). Seems like alsa-lib 1.0.9 doesn't like 1.0.8 drivers (the in-kernel ones, or alsa-driver 1.0.8). As for comment #23, using alsa-driver 1.0.9 resolve the problem. (Still, there's a bug in alsa-drivers 1.0.8).
1. I'm using Kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 2. my dmix-devices are called 'dmix0' and 'dmix1' (I have 2 soundcards) So, #2 can't be an issue, but #1 can. btw: we had a similiar problem a few ALSA/KERNEL versions ago. So my very first thought was: ahh, again an incompatibility between Kernel-ALSA and ALSA-Libs. And it seems, that I was right ;) @ Jan: don't tell long-time users to use "sane" CFLAGS in the first run, when their whole system is running stable! Of course, bad CFLAGS can harm your installation. But you should ask first, if other -non-related- apps are also crashing. Since I'm using these CFLAGS on many different machines (AMD/INTEL, I only change the arch releated stuff) and they're running stable, I don't see the point why ALSA-LIBs should be broken with them. At least when I said, that 1.0.8 is running w/o any problems.
If you are a compiler engineer which knows exactly all the implications of ALL the cflags out there, well then you can do whatever you want. Else, please note that there're *a lot* of implications on cflags uses, and they can change from version to version. Also a "safe" flag as -fomit-frame-pointer can make some versions of some software to crash badly (see Wine's problem, not the flag is blacklisted by configure script). So, if someone tell a "long-time user" to use sane flags is because that's the first thing to test, else the "long-time user" can figure the problem out itself and fix it itself, also. That's just IMHO anyway.
I know what CFLAGS can do or not do to badly coded software or when compiler bugs are involved. No question. But I said: my system is running stable. That means: my CFLAGS are good enough to work with 1000+ programs and 1000+ libs on system. So, before pointing out that CFLAGS are not "sane" enough, please read what the bug reporter said and try to understand. It's insane to ask for "emerge -e" just to test a broken ALSA-LIB. There' many other possibilities why ALSA can be broken. And as you can see, using 1.0.9 both for drivers *and* libs solves the problem. So CFLAGS are not involved.
Maybe you miss something. Many packages *strip* the flags, or just remove the flags which are *known* to break something. So you aren't using your cflags for everything. And if you think that cflags can harm only "badly coded software" or for "compiler bugs" you just doesn't know what means be a coder. A wrong flag on a perfectly coded package can harm it.
ok, lets stop it here. I'm coding for 20+ years now. I understand what you want to say. But I've learned, that when LIB 1.0.8 works and LIB 1.0.9 don't, there're many other possibilities why that happens. I said, that I think it's a kernel <-> alsa-lib problem. And I was right. Of course, testing "better" CFLAGS are also an option to locate the problem. But also then: don't tell the user to make "emerge -e". A recompile of ALSA-LIBs is more than enough, since 1.0.8 is working properly (so you can be sure, that other apps, and there're many, are not the problem). The "hey, use other CFLAGS and do emerge -e before asking any questions" are insane. That's not the way we should handle and solve problems here. If your car is broken, then you also don't say "hey, use another brand and gas before asking any questions". First try to opt-out all other possibilities. And now we should end that discussion here. Let's solve problems!
