Hi,

libmms 0.6 has some alignment issues on ARM. This causes any
mms_connect() to fail on those platforms due to GUID compare mismatches.
See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3137994&group_id=101989&atid=630607

for the upstream bug report.
As this is fixed in later upstream releases, please update the libmms
package to version 0.6.1 or 0.6.2.

libmms 0.6.2 is already prepared in our git repository, but is scheduled
for post-squeeze.

Please excuse my lack of understanding, but given that only maintenance and bugfixing work seems to be done in upstream libmms, and given that the alignment bug makes it impossible to properly use libmms on ARM, why are the newer releases not considered for squeeze?

If updating libmms is not an option, could you consider backporting the alignment fix? (http://libmms.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libmms/libmms;a=commit;h=160a0c1c29b2be301a409856c4393dc9c1b88dd0)

Thanks,

Danny
