Yes, indeed, someone recently moved the buffer allocation from
line6_pcm_start() to snd_line6_[capture|playback]_hw_params :-) However, when
a TonePort device is plugged in, the driver launches a PCM capture and
playback stream to provide a software monitor. This is not related to ALSA and
therefore bypasses ALSA initialization, thus trying to access a buffer via a
pointer which is still null, resulting in the kernel panic.
I fixed it in the subversion repository and sent the patch to the kernel
maintainer.
@Petter: could you please try again with the most recent version from
branches/ux2?
Kind regards,
Markus
