I compiled a 2.6.8.1 kernel and something has changed so that sound
works much differently.
At first I thought that it wasn't working at all, but with a bunch of
fiddling around I found I could get sound. It's not clear to me if
this is an ALSA problem, kernel problem or both. The first thing I
discovered was that with programs like xmms I had to change the device
to be hw:0,3 instead of the usual default of hw:0,0 . Let's see if I
can provide some more context....
All the devices look correct in /dev/snd/*, I use no modules but
rather compile all into the kernel. Everything in /proc/asound looks
as it should. (Of I never really had to look there
in previous kernels where sound was working). The EMU10K1 (SBLive)
appears as card 0 and device 0 (as well as the other devices on that
card). My ALSA lib versions match the kernel version.
My problems:
1. default sound isn't working, to make some apps work I created an
~/.asound file
to specifiy the default to be hw:0,3 (i.e. card0, device3 or pcmC0D3p)
2. I can no longer play mono 8000 Hz sounds, attempting to do so hard locks
the machine and requires a power cycle to recover.
I can provide more context if you think it will help. Should this go
to ALSA instead?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Try the latest ALSA version (1.0.7-rc2) before you file a bug.
Also, hw:0,3 is the SPDIF device. Sounds like you are not using normal
computer speakers. Are you using digital speakers or SPDIF out to a
receiver?
Please answer off-list or post your report to alsa-user as this is OT
for LKML.
