Re: [PATCH] Re: ALSA problems: sound lockup, modules, 2.5.70

[Ivan Gyurdiev]

Sorry for thread - not subscribed.

I solved all of my modules problems and every single one of them was my fault, 
combined with a minimalistic modprobe.conf syntax (no aliases to aliases? ) 
and devfs.

Lockups, however, are still there, and the patch did not help.
Here's some straces:

XMMS freezes on the following system call (attempt to stop a playing mp3):

gettimeofday({1054069621, 452855}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 2, 9) = 1
gettimeofday({1054069621, 456248}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [32])                = 0

XINE freezes on startup, and here's the beginning of a repeating sequence 
that says Timeout.

is this info useful at all?
