1.2.14: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning due to the use of `sys.exit(0)`
by GitHub issues - opened 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

alsa-project/alsa-python issue #18 was opened from dvzrv: Hi! 👋 I package this project for Arch Linux. During update to 1.2.14 I noticed that setuptools now raises the following warning: ``` /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/build_meta.py:522: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: Running `setup.py` directly as CLI tool is deprecated. !! ******************************************************************************** Please avoid using `sys.exit(0)` or similar statements that don't fit in the paradigm of a configuration file. See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details. ******************************************************************************** !! super().run_setup(setup_script=setup_script) ``` This appears to be triggered by the `sys.exit(0)` call in setup.py: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-python/blob/20b2b3999f24af462815b9c86e… (Setuptools now offers one of the various PEP517 build backends and calling setup.py directly as a script is deprecated). Looking at the file I noticed that there are still conditionals that accommodate Python2: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-python/blob/20b2b3999f24af462815b9c86e… Those should be removed, as the script itself is marked as Python3 (and well of course because Python2 is long discontinued 😅).

recent change in seqmid.c is broken?
by Takashi Iwai 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi Jaroslav, I'm afraid that your recent fix for alsa-lib commit a4e47461eca1 doesn't work as expected: ``` @@ -664,15 +663,11 @@ static void update_group_ports(snd_seq_t *seq, snd_ump_endpoint_info_t *ep) break; } - if (!*bp->name) + if (bp->name[0] == '\0') continue; - len = strlen(blknames); - if (len) - snprintf(blknames + len, sizeof(blknames) - len, - ", %s", bp->name); - else - snd_strlcpy(blknames, (const char *)bp->name, - sizeof(blknames)); + if (blknames[0]) + snd_strlcpy(blknames, ", ", sizeof(blknames)); + snd_strlcpy(blknames, (const char *)bp->name, sizeof(blknames)); } if (!*blknames) ``` The original code appended the new bp->name string with the prefix of ", " if blknames is already present, but the new code looks as if it overwrites onto blknames with strlcpy() from scratch for each bp->name. FWIW, the code there used to be with strlcat(), but it was rewritten in the way above because strlcat() isn't always available in commit d9694398130c. thanks, Takashi

On output devices, `snd_pcm_open()` makes a bad loud tick.
by GitHub issues - opened 13 Apr '25

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #451 was opened from ewtoombs: Minimal reproduction: ``` #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> #include <stdbool.h> int main(int argc, const char **argv) { snd_pcm_t *out; assert(snd_pcm_open(&out, "default", // the name of the device being opened SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, // it is an output stream false // iff nonblocking stream ) == 0); } ``` (Compile with `gcc -o test test.c -lasound`.) Relevant `lspci`: ``` 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21) ``` `uname`: ``` Linux robert 6.13.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:17:30 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` alsa-lib version: 1.2.13-1 (archlinux) I've heard similar artefacts on many different sound cards, though, across many different architectures, always on linux. One must wait about five minutes in between trials, or the artefact does not occur. This isn't a minor detail. The tick is very loud. It might even damage speakers in a worst case scenario.
