The code I am working with at present includes unremarkable lines such as:

warning for the 2nd line: : warning: the address of 'line_in_vol' will always evaluate as 'true'
but an older compiler on the desktop does not show this. Would this warning be expected in these circumstances, or is the compiler being over zealous? Am I missing something or is there a straightforward way to avoid such warnings? (Code runs OK).
Try the later version of alsa-lib. This should have been already fixed.
Thanks very much. You presumably refer to:
http:// git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commit;h=68e5771a6f7a2aae2dbd02a097719bcd25c6f307
Right now a rebuild of the working environment would be a bit tricky. At the next opportunity I'll see if we can apply that patch to alsa-lib (I think it is 1.0.15 -based) and rebuild. In the meantime the warnings are presumably fairly harmless?
Thanks again,
Alan
