Hi,
My box has now accumulated almost 3 weeks of uptime,
and so the ALSA memory problem is back again:
$ aplay /usr/lib/sounds/jungle_exit.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/lib/sounds/jungle_exit.wav' :
Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Stereo
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:297:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params)
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Cannot allocate
memory
aplay: set_params:814: Unable to install hw params:
ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED
FORMAT: S16_LE
SUBFORMAT: STD
SAMPLE_BITS: 16
FRAME_BITS: 32
CHANNELS: 2
RATE: 22050
PERIOD_TIME: 100000
PERIOD_SIZE: 2205
PERIOD_BYTES: 8820
PERIODS: 5
BUFFER_TIME: 500000
BUFFER_SIZE: 11025
BUFFER_BYTES: 44100
TICK_TIME: 10000
Is that patch you sent me to hack^Wfix this still
relevant, or will it make things worse? I've noticed a
few changes to these parts of the kernel drivers.
As an aside, my memory looks like this:
$ free -t
total used free shared
buffers cached
Mem: 1033544 1011004 22540 0
53776 728244
-/+ buffers/cache: 228984 804560
Swap: 498004 8168 489836
Total: 1531548 1019172 512376
Isn't Linux supposed to surrender disk-cache memory if
another process requests it? Surely *some* of that
1011004 KB cache must be usable!?
