[alsa-devel] UCM list 'modifiers' Seg-Fault when list is empty

[Alejandro Gonzalez]

Hi, 

I've been testing the Alsa UCM and find that when listing 'modifiers'
there is a segmentation fault if the list is empty.

$ alsaucm -c Panda set _verb HiFi list _modifiers
  Im setting defaults
    list is empty
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Using 'gdb' I see that the issue is trying to free a not NULL pointer.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x402a096c in free () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0x402a096c in free () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x40221224 in snd_use_case_free_list () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
#2  0x00008d8a in do_one (context=0x13008) at usecase.c:256
#3  do_commands (context=0x13008) at usecase.c:329
#4  0x000091aa in main (argc=<value optimized out>, argv=0xbe9986c4) at
usecase.c:440
(gdb) quit

But this can be easily resolved with the correct initialization of the
'**list' pointer on the 'do_one' function in 'alsaucm/usecase.c'. 

You can find a patch attached to the mail.

Regards, 

Alejandro
