[alsa-devel] snd-hda-intel support for SPDIF-in wiht vt1708 card?

[Darryl House]

Well, I spoke too soon... with or without the via patch, I now get an error from the driver about an inappropriate ioctl for the device while KDE is trying to start the sound system.

On a command line, madplay and aplay return this: 

#> aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Glass_Break.ogg
#> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
#> aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy

#> aplay /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
#> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
#> aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy

#> madplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Glass_Break.ogg

#> audio: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

#> madplay /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav
#> MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright © 2000-2004 Robert Leslie et al.

alsaconf correctly detects the VT1708, and alsamixer and alsactl all seem to work correctly.

I've tried obtaining and installing the latest mercurial clone of alsa-lib,
and I've tried this with or without the patch_via.c patch below.

Am I doing something wrong?
