Dear list,

Using SALSA-Lib 0.0.2, I call snd_pcm_open snd_pcm_hw_params_malloc snd_pcm_hw_params_any

The call to snd_pcm_hw_params_any appears to clobber memory beyond the end of the hw_params allocated by snd_pcm_hw_params_malloc (as reported by linking in -lmcheck).

Gosh, my bad. I didn't test *_malloc() at all.

There was a stupid bug in the template I copy-n-pasted. The fix patch is below. I'll release version 0.0.3 soon later.

Thanks for reporting!

Takashi

Problem resolved in SALSA-Lib 0.0.3 - thanks :) (subsequent problem reported in new thread)
