[alsa-devel] dmix and mmap

[Gabriel Johnson]

I updated to 1.0.19, it appears that aplay -Dplug:dmix -f cdr raw.wave
is working.  Now using the ioctl to get mmap address of the dma space
isn't working, I get a kernel machine check error:

Playing raw data '/home/bin/stw.raw' : Signed 16 bit Big Endian, Rate

[   78.540400] Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

Should the default mmap ioctl functions work on powerpc?

Thanks,
Gabe
