Thanks, now it's much narrower. Adrian's big rewrites have been merged since 2.6.39 kernel. 3.0 had only minor changes that are likely irrelevant. 3.1 and 3.2 had again significant changes. So, if anyone can test 2.6.39 and 3.1 kernels, it'd be another good step forward. Also, for a live system, you still can test the user-space stuff changes. For example, on the working system (e.g. Debian 5 or 6), copy libasound.so.2.0.0 (or the corresponding one) to somewhere (e.g. /tmp). Then run aplay like % LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/libasound.so.2.0.0 aplay something.wav Takashi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
