Hi all,
I'm almost at my wits end ("ARGH!").
Everything used to work pretty well... until I messed with my system once
again (upgrading some packages and doing other things, or so I think).
After having installed the 0.9rc7 Debian package (or around that time
at least) and having rebuilt ALSA, I didn't manage to start ALSA properly
any more:
root@note:/root# /etc/init.d/alsa start
cat: /proc/asound/version: No such device
Starting ALSA sound driver (version ):/etc/init.d/alsa: line 93: [: =: unary operator
expected
no sound cards defined.
root@note:/root#
root@note:/root# ls -l /proc/asound/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 cards
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 dev/
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 devices
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 meminfo
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 oss/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 seq/
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 14 12:09 version
root@note:/root# cat /proc/asound/version
cat: /proc/asound/version: No such device
root@note:/root#
Modules loaded at that time:
snd 42532 0
soundcore 3492 0 [snd]
I downgraded to the 0.9rc6 packages: nothing.
I checked out a completely fresh ALSA CVS tree and rebuilt (by using
cvscompile also): nothing.
I checked out an older ALSA tree: nothing.
I waited some weeks: nothing.
I'm almost as desperate as to debug and to rip apart
the whole goddamn thing now (/usr/src/system/CVS/alsa/alsa-kernel/core/info.c).
A reboot didn't help either, of course.
System:
Debian testing/unstable

Does anyone have *any* idea?
Maybe some "slightly too newish" gcc problem or so??
The next thing I'll try is to rebuild with my gcc 3.0.4 version...
Needless to say, I need this ALSA tree to work properly again
(if only to maybe hack on an Aztech PCI338 A3D Aureal AU8820 driver ;-))
