[alsa-devel] SB X-Fi driver fixes (Re: Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver)

[Gernot Kohlhaas]

Hi!

Works like a charme, except for some crashes I had...
Three crashes two days ago (in audacious) and two in xmms.
Sound keeps looping (a few ms) and my whole system is totally frozen.
After that I can't find any usable output in my log-files (no output
from the crash at all).

I'll play around a bit and see if I can crash it again.

Anything I should try/look for?

BTW: Is there any way to achive Low Pass Filtering with "on-board"
ALSA-Tools/Methods?
ATM I am using a ladspa plugin that I specified in my .asoundrc.
