On Wed, 27 Jun 2007 the mental interface of Mark Wooding told:
Package: libasound2 Version: 1.0.14a-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
The PCM plugin `lfloat' isn't compiled into libasound. In particular, this prevents the `plug' plugin from doing linear<->float conversion, and in turn this means that hardly any ALSA clients can use the JACK plugin from libasound2-plugins, because JACK uses FLOAT_LE format throughout.
The reason for this is quite simple: the configure script is broken! In particular, the sense of the `softfloat' check used to decide whether to disable the plugin is wrong! (That's aside from the question of whether it's sensible to fail to build the thing just because it might be slow.)
We should solve this in general. It's not a Debian specific wish so forwarded upstream.
Yep, now committed to ALSA HG tree.
Thanks!
