Did one of them cause EL2NSYNC to get reported differently then? I didn't see that ... this looks to me like an issue which, as I pointed out, is not new. I suspect that what you actually should be saying is that to get your audio apps working you need this bug fixed, but that's a rather different issue than claiming that one of your other patches makes that existing problem much worse. > Leaving 1-14 and nacking 15 will just leave uses with > usbaudio being useless. You seem to have missed a key point of splitting a monster patch into a sequence of independent patches ... the independence! That is, in any series of patches 1..N it's a goal that later patches be independent of earlier ones ... in the sense that dropping the later ones not break anything, since the series as a whole is _functionally_ incremental. Not only should the system build with just the first N patches, but it should WORK that way too. (And depending on the patches, a given patch might not actually depend on preceding patches. It's good to factor patches to minimize dependencies, when you can.) > However, I still maintain the system we > currently have is broken because > > a) we can't detect xrun errors > b) when xrun errors happen, we do the worst possible thing. I don't think I disagreed with (b), although I think (a) must then be obviously wrong ... otherwise it'd be impossible for (b) to be true! :) However my point was that this is the wrong fix. Since it's already broken, and the issue seems unrelated to the patches you've posted, it's reasonable to hold out for the right fix. The patch you posted may make an OK workaround for certain configurations though. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
