The click is smooth, and extends over about 20 time steps. It also has ringing associated. Are you sure that you are not doing frequency interpolations? Ie recording the thing at 4KHz and then extrapolating to 44100? Ie, this waveform looks very processed.

Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa problems
Regarding So, would you suggest Linus to maintain a dedicated web site for Linux? :) - yes, I would. I just know that I was responsible for the documentation fro the code I wrote, so why shouldn't he be responsible for his code and documentation on it too ? And the central linux site (whatever it is) may be organized in such a manner: top_dir - top_dir/main.html top_dir/Linus_Torvalds/ top_dir/Andrew_Morton/ top_dir/Alan_Cox ... top_dir/Jaroslav_Kysela top_dit/Takashi_Iwai and the the main page (main.html) may be organized in a manner there are links on it to the corresponding files greatest_and_latest.html under the developers' directories, e.g. top_dir/Linus_Torvalds/greatest_and_latest.html top_dir/Andrew_Morton/greatest_and_latest.html ... top_dir/Jaroslav_Kysela/greatest_and_latest.html top_dit/Takashi_Iwai/greatest_and_latest.html and the developers will just update their greatest_and_latest.html files. The developers' directories can be owned by their respective developers, so each will be able to screw up only his/her stuff. IMHO, from programming point of view things should be organized in a manner which requires the least possible interaction between people. But the above means people should interact a lot to work out a mutually acceptable solution.

[Alsa-user] Alsa problems
Hi guys,
this is my first post in this mailing list. I've got a problem using
ALSA: I've installed tho sources following the documentation
step-by-step. That's OK, but when I try to run aplay here's what happen:
$ aplay -D intel8x0 test.wav
aplay: main:533: audio open error: No such file or directory
And when I try to run mplayer using alsa, something similar happens:
$ mplayer -ao alsa test.wav
MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.3.6 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team

Could not open/initialize audio device - no sound.

Another problem occours with midi. I cannot play midi. No way.
Furthermore, I've got a problem using aRts and Alsa together: when using
aRts, all kde's sounds work well, but I can't use mplayer because aRts
block the /dev/dsp device. I cannot listen sounds in web pages, too. How
can I use aRts and ALSA together?
Finally, a little audio delay problem: when aRts is not active, all the
videos have an audio delay. E.g.: if a watch a movie using mplayer, the
audio has ALWAYS delay, and also Flash movies in web pages have audio delay.
Anyone can help me? Here's some data:

Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa problems
So, how end users are supposed to learn about ALSA ? If something exists for general public, but general public has no way of knowing it, what's the use of that potentially useful thing ? Maybe ALSA project site should contain clearly visible Ignore the documentation, ask alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net first warning on the main page ?

Switching back to 0.9.0rc1 solved the problem for days, but then it started again. Since then, there was a new alsa package, so I tried 0.9.0rc3-0.3 (updated all alsa and libasound packages). It doesn't solve the problem. I don't see any reasons why this error occurs.
