Hi All,

I am seeing a problem with aplay hanging when trying to play a wav file. The problem is that it is trying to use an mmap function even though mmap was not initialised. The call stack is:

#0 snd_pcm_mmap_begin (pcm=0x400764a0, areas=0x400772c4, offset=0x40061e1c, frames=0x40082f78) at pcm.c:6402 #1 0x40081eb4 in snd_pcm_plugin_write_areas (pcm=0x2b0e8, areas=0xbeb20950, offset=0, size=2048) at pcm_plugin.c:278 #2 0x4006ab20 in snd1_pcm_write_areas (pcm=0x2b0e8, areas=0xbeb20950, offset=0, size=2048, func=0x40081e30 <snd_pcm_plugin_write_areas>) at pcm.c:6654 #3 0x40082578 in snd_pcm_plugin_writei (pcm=0x2b0e8, buffer=0x2b6c8, size=2048) at pcm_plugin.c:361 #4 0x4005e384 in _snd_pcm_writei (pcm=0x21db8, buffer=0x2b6c8, size=2048) at pcm_local.h:516 #5 0x4005e2f8 in snd_pcm_writei (pcm=0x21db8, buffer=0x2b6c8, size=2048) at pcm.c:1243 #6 0x0001045c in pcm_write (data=0x2b6c8 "^", count=2048) at aplay.c:1432 #7 0x000135b8 in playback_go (fd=5, loaded=0, count=424600, rtype=2, name=0xbeb20dd5 "/sdcard/test.wav") at aplay.c:2171 #8 0x00013a0c in playback (name=0xbeb20dd5 "/sdcard/test.wav") at aplay.c:2231 #9 0x0000c38c in main (argc=2, argv=0xbeb20cd4) at aplay.c:641

It gets here even though the mmap_flag was not set. This then causes an infinite loop as no mmap areas have been defined.

My setup was working with version 1.0.16. What could have changed to break this? Is it something wrong with my config?

Try alsa-lib 1.0.19. There have been some fixes regarding mmap emulation.
