Hi!

The official version of alsa-tools 1.0.24.1 seems to be broken. HDSP mixer won't run.

I made it work though with the git version.

Would be nice if you could release a tools 1.0.24.2 soon. I consider this a critical bug.

Please don't release hdspmixer without having the preset load/restore issue sorted out.

The ondisk structure contained no meta information, so it's already hard enough to tell which version of hdspmixer created a given preset file.

Having more officially released versions available complicates things. I've recently introduced a magic header for the new ondisk structure, but it isn't stable, yet.

While I think it's perfectly acceptable to have unstable ondisk structures during development, I would like to have a stable format when releasing.

Current plan:

- no magic: old (pre v1.0.24 format or broken v1.0.24.(.1)) - v1 style: fixed format, maybe will become v1.0.24.2 - v2 style: only single card instead of three cards in one preset file

Just my €0.02
