-- On Wed, 27 Jun 2007 the mental interface of Mark Wooding told: > Package: libasound2 > Version: 1.0.14a-1 > Severity: normal > Tags: patch > > The PCM plugin `lfloat' isn't compiled into libasound. In particular, > this prevents the `plug' plugin from doing linear<->float conversion, > and in turn this means that hardly any ALSA clients can use the JACK > plugin from libasound2-plugins, because JACK uses FLOAT_LE format > throughout. > > The reason for this is quite simple: the configure script is broken! In > particular, the sense of the `softfloat' check used to decide whether to > disable the plugin is wrong! (That's aside from the question of whether > it's sensible to fail to build the thing just because it might be slow.) > We should solve this in general.
