[alsa-devel] skype and old alsa RC4 symbols

[Jon Smirl]

I would like to run pulseaudio 9.15 contained in this ubuntu
repository since it fixes my problems with S/PDIF
https://launchpad.net/~themuso/+archive/ppa

However, the 32b compatibility library in this build don't work with
skype since it is missing some RC4 obsolete symbols.

readelf -W -s libasound.so.2.0.0 | grep
snd_pcm_hw_params_get_channels_min
   174: 0004a970    58 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   12
snd_pcm_hw_params_get_channels_min@@ALSA_0.9
   454: 0004a970    58 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12
__snd_pcm_hw_params_get_channels_min@@ALSA_0.9

The 64b library has the missing RC4 symbols.

How do I get the RC4 symbols into the 32 library? I can pull down the
source for this and build without problem. I just can't identify what
needs to be changed to make the symbols appear in the 32b compat lib.
