Hi All,
I am using ALSA 1.0.24 with the attached asound.conf. I am
attempting to
share (mix) the analog output between Asterisk and aplay. However,
when
Asterisk is running, my application throws an error when attempting
to
play
a wave file via aplay. If I stop Asterisk, aplay plays the wave
file
just
fine. If I remove the asound.conf file, Asterisk and aplay are both
happy
and share the analog output just find with the default ALSA dmix implementation. However, we need this asound.conf to work for us
for
other
reasons. What is wrong with it. I have even tried replacing dmix
with
dshare and get the same bad behavior. We are running CentOS 6.0.
As a
caveat, I am attempting to use dmix with analog audio. If I use it
with
HDMI audio, it works flawlessly (same asound.conf with tweek to
specify
HDMI). Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like the open of HD-audio stream failed by some reason. When you open via aplay, is the corresponding stream already opened by another? Take a look at /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/* files.
Also, try the latest alsa-driver snapshot in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/snapshot/

Hi Takashi,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, the HD-audio stream open fails
because
Asterisk has previously opened it. aplay cannot open it (error -22).
-22 is -EINVAL, and it's not -EBUSY or -EAGAIN. If a blocking open is the problem, it should have been -EAGAIN or such. That is, usually something conflicts with the opened stream.

Hi Takashi,
You are the man! Your latest drivers have eliminated this issue! What did you have to change to fix this?

Hi Takashi,
So, are these drivers almost ready for release? Are they in alpha or beta? Is there a patch that can be made to the existing 0.1.24.x drivers?
Best Regards,
