Dear Linux folks,
With
$ git describe --tags drm-tip/drm-tip
v5.5-rc3-1481-ga20d8cd6901a
the internal audio device is not available, and just a dummy device.
Running `alsa-info.sh` [1], the messages below are shown with the
problematic Linux kernel.
alsactl: get_controls:567: snd_ctl_open error: Sound protocol is
not compatible
cat: /tmp/alsa-info.ateDlDjrZX/alsactl.tmp: No such file or directory
Please find the output of `alsa-info.sh` with Linux 5.5-rc3 and drm-tip
attached.
Kind regards,
Paul

That's an unexpected side-effect of the recent protocol version bump
in sound.git for-next branch. It seems that we can't change the minor
version unless we really want to break something.
Below is the fix patch. Please give it a try.
thanks,
Takashi

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: control: Fix incompatible protocol error
The recent change to bump the ALSA control API protocol version from
2.0.7 to 2.1.0 caused a regression on user-space; while the user-space
expects both the major and the minor versions to be identical with the
supported numbers, we changed the minor number from 0 to 1.
For recovering from the incompatibility, this patch changes the
protocol version again to 2.0.8, which is compatible, but yet higher
than the original number 2.0.7, indicating that the protocol change.
Fixes: bd3eb4e87eb3 ("ALSA: ctl: bump protocol version up to v2.1.0")

Are there CI systems, which should have caught this problem?
Which user-space component should forward this problem to the user
(desktop environment displaying a warning)?
Kind regards,
Paul

Unfortunately no -- I'd love to have it, though.
I usually test and push more carefully, but it was a bit rush before
the holidays :)
Now merged and pushed out.
thanks,
Takashi
