alsa-project/alsa-plugins issue #46 was opened from npitre:
The espeak program is crashing randomly here. I've been able to isolate the issue in a small test program demonstrating the crash 100% of the time, ending in:
``` alsa_quickcrash: pcm.c:3236: snd_pcm_area_copy: Assertion `src < dst || src >= dst + bytes' failed. Aborted (core dumped) ```
Here's the test code:
``` /* to compile: gcc -O2 -Wall -o alsa_quickcrash alsa_quickcrash.c -lasound */
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>
#define DEVICE "test_dummy" #define RATE 22050 #define CHANNELS 1 #define FORMAT SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE #define BUF_MS 60
#define DO(x) if (x < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s failed\n", #x); exit(1); }
int main() { unsigned int rate = RATE; snd_pcm_uframes_t frames = RATE * BUF_MS / 1000; snd_pcm_t *handle; snd_pcm_hw_params_t *params;
DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_malloc(¶ms)); DO(snd_pcm_open(&handle, DEVICE, SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_any(handle, params)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(handle, params, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(handle, params, FORMAT)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(handle, params, &rate, 0)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(handle, params, CHANNELS)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near(handle, params, &frames)); DO(snd_pcm_hw_params(handle, params)); DO(snd_pcm_prepare(handle));
printf("PCM config dump:\n"); snd_output_t *output = NULL; DO(snd_output_stdio_attach(&output, stdout, 0)); DO(snd_pcm_dump(handle, output)); printf("\n");
printf("frames = %ld\n", (long)frames); short data[frames * CHANNELS]; memset(data, 0, sizeof(data));
printf("writing whole buffer\n"); DO(snd_pcm_writei(handle, data, frames)); printf("writing whole buffer\n"); DO(snd_pcm_writei(handle, data, frames)); printf("writing whole buffer minus 1 frame\n"); DO(snd_pcm_writei(handle, data, frames - 1));
printf("draining audio\n"); DO(snd_pcm_drain(handle)); printf("done\n"); DO(snd_pcm_close(handle)); return 0; } ```
Here's the corresponding .asoundrc content:
``` pcm.test_dummy { type plug slave.pcm "mix_dummy" }
pcm.mix_dummy { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_key_add_uid false ipc_perm 0666 slave { pcm "hw:0" period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 format "S16_LE" rate 48000 } } ```
And here's the complete test output:
