[alsa-devel] softvol and snd_pcm_rewind() is broken

Heya!

With 1.0.17rc3 snd_pcm_rewind() is broken for softvol as it seems:

- Sometimes the sound becomes heavily distorted after such a seek:

- And snd_pcm_rewind() might return a value that is higher than was passed in, which as far as I understood should never happen:

These two issues might be caused by the same error.

Takashi, Jaroslav, how can I bribe you into fixing this? I'd love to release my new PulseAudio version soon which heavily relies on snd_pcm_rewind(), but unfortunately the most important driver (hda with softvol) makes the most problems with it. :-(
