[alsa-devel] how do you people debug ALSA?
Hello everyone!
How do you ALSA developers debug the ALSA code? I am working on a large Linux project and i am using gdb which is not very helpful sometimes. I also use KDevelop to do graphical debugging(its' debugger is a frontend for gdb too), but it's not so good for multithreaded programs.
If you have any hints please reply.
Have a nice day!

Which part of it? ALSA is a quite large project, starting with kernel code at the lowest level and ending at application level on the other end.
If you have any hints please reply.
What specifically doesn't work? The question above is far from being detailed enough to help you. It's like "My car is broken, how do I fix it?" without any comment which kind of problem you face (engine, wheels, ...)

I meant what tools do you use, what Debuggers? In my post i wasn't complaining about ALSA, i was just curios about the debugging tools that you use, from a developer's standpoint...
