Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
There are several inconsistencies between the source and binary packages
for pulseaudio, so this is really a report of several bugs.
Pulseaudio stopped working after I upgraded to Ibex after Herron. It
gave these error messages:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition
'cards.ICH4.pcm.surround71.0:CARD=0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned
error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or
directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2196:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround71:0
E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0
sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_24d5_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"):
initialization failed.
Since this didn't mean much to me, I downloaded the source with "apt-get
source pulseaudio", and compiled it for myself, by applying the patch
with patch(1), and manually compiling with debug info (mkdir debug; cd
debug; CFLAGS=-g ../configure --prefix=/ --disable-manpages)
This didn't work... there was an inconsistent function prototype and
definition which I had to fix (trivial if you encounter it). After
fixing the function prototype, everything worked! No error messages --
nothing.
I also tried compiling without debug information, and pulseaudio still
worked.
So, there is something broken with the Ubuntu build environment?
I'm a bit confused about how the source could be broken in a package
that has evidently been compiled, and how the allegedly identical source
has different behaviour. What's the dpkg command the Ubuntu developers
use to compile the package?
Package versions:
pulseaudio: 0.9.10-2ubuntu9
alsa-base: 1.0.17.dfsg-2ubuntu1
