Hi!
The official version of alsa-tools 1.0.24.1 seems to be broken. HDSP mixer won't run.
I made it work though with the git version.
Would be nice if you could release a tools 1.0.24.2 soon. I consider this a critical bug.
Please don't release hdspmixer without having the preset load/restore issue sorted out.
The ondisk structure contained no meta information, so it's already hard enough to tell which version of hdspmixer created a given preset file.
Having more officially released versions available complicates things. I've recently introduced a magic header for the new ondisk structure, but it isn't stable, yet.
While I think it's perfectly acceptable to have unstable ondisk structures during development, I would like to have a stable format when releasing.
Current plan:
- no magic: old (pre v1.0.24 format or broken v1.0.24.(.1)) - v1 style: fixed format, maybe will become v1.0.24.2 - v2 style: only single card instead of three cards in one preset file
Just my €0.02
