Hi I am writing an alsa driver for my omap based board. I am testing it using cat /dev/audio currently, i.e. I have OSS emulation turned on. This is an initial round of testing and I will use alsa-libs and utils later.
My problem is:
I have set the pcm->private_data = my_chip after registering the pcm ops, after referring various standard drivers in alsa tree. My module is insmoded properly but after I do snd_card_register(card) the pcm->private_data is corrupted !! Before this step, the pcm->private_data is intact. But after looking at the snd_card_register(), I realized that it doesn't even touch the pcm pointer.
So, when I cat the device I get huge segfault in snd_pcm_attach_substream(), since pcm->private_data is NULL but surprisingly all the other fields are intact in pcm pointer.
Even the OSS code doesn't touch the pcm pointer, what must be wrong? I have checked my source atleast 5 times and couldn't find anything in it.

Is the above post visible? I didn't receive it like all the other mails sent to this list.
