I am getting a seg fault in alsa.

#2 0xb7d7105f in __assert_fail () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #3 0xb741861f in snd_pcm_area_copy (dst_area=0x81cc62c, dst_offset=0, src_area=0x81cb7ec, src_offset=5223, samples=816, format=SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE) at pcm_local.h:499

This is the "assert(bitofs % 8 == 0)" in snd_pcm_channel_area_addr() in pcm_local.h. In theory, this means that some sample is not aligned to a byte boundary, but it should be impossible to get this error.

Do you have any .asoundrc or asound.conf file? If yes, please remove them and try again.
