[alsa-devel] question about ctl.pulse ?
by Raymond Yau 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Refer to http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=blob;f=doc/README-pulse;h… The mixer control plugin also accepts the parameters "source" and "sink" for when you need to specify a sink/source combination with different names. If you need to do this with PCM:s then specify two PCM:s with different "device". Does it mean that the application only get playback controls from sink0, sink1 and capture controls from source0, source1, source2 ctl.sink0 { type pulse sink "0" } ctl.source0 { type pulse source "0" } ctl.sink1 { type pulse sink "1" } ctl.source1 { type pulse source "1" } ctl.sink2 { type pulse sink "2" } ctl.source2 { type pulse source "2" }

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] asoc: davinci: da830/omap-l138: correct cpu_dai_name
by Vaibhav Bedia 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

McASP1 is used on the DA830/OMAP-L137 platform for the codec. This is different from the DA850/OMAP-L138 platform which uses McASP0. This is fixed by adding a new snd_soc_dai_link struct.

[alsa-devel] alsa-lib TLVs and valgrind
by Sebastian H. 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hello list I'm about to release a new version of alsamixer-qt4 (now named qasmixer) and ran the program through valgrind. valgrind --track-origins=yes src/qasmixer &> valgrind.log The log file contains tons of warnings like this ==3432== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ... ... (qasmixer function calls) ... ==3432== Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation ... malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:236) ... init_db_range (simple_none.c:1111) ... get_dB_range (simple_none.c:1156) ... get_dB_range_ops (simple_none.c:1173) ... snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_dB_range (simple.c:298) ... ... (qasmixer function calls) ... The fresh alsa-lib-10-24.1 was used for this, compiled with debug symbols enabled. Drivers are from Debian/squeeze. This issue doesn't seem critical for the application but it totally floods the valgrind.log file. Best, Sebastian Holtermann

Raw-format files do not have any information about the format, so Audacity has to guess. Just write a .wav file with the proper headers. Regards, Clemens

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: soc-core: Remove display_register() callback

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Amstrad Delta: fix NULL pointer dereference
by Janusz Krzysztofik 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

It looks like the .card member of the snd_soc_pcm_runtime structure pointed to by the snd_soc_dai_link.init() argument is no longer initialized before the function being called. As the Amstrad Delta sound card driver was making use of it for locating its snd_soc_card structure, this resulted in actual or potential NULL pointer dereferences. Since the structure in question is local to the driver, its address can be referred directly instead of trying to derive it from the function argument. Fix it.
