[alsa-devel] [Mult]Re: A debug version of the ALSA lib?

[Olivier Guillion - Myriad]

Thank you!

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
It started to install about 700 MB of miscellaneous packages, and failed on the 
making of the final package.
By precaustion I reverted to a previous snapshot of my system.
Isn't it a simpler way to get debug info?
Is it possible for instance to install libasound-dbg on Ubuntu 11.04?

Maybe my problem comes from run-time link with the library?
Does anyone use Code:Blocks to compile C applications that use ALSA?

If yes could you please tell  me the compiler/linker settings to properly use 
the ALSA shared libs? I added "/usr/lib/libasound.so.2" to the "Link library" 
section of the Linker settings, and it worked, but I still get crashes on the 
"snd_device_name_hints", especially within a small Mozilla plug-in in Firefox.

I can send the whole project, with a very easy test that shows the problem if 
needed.

Regards,
Olivier
