Last night I finally had the chance to do some updates on my favorite machine at home. All rpms were built here and the CPU is an athlon 1800xp+: a) Upgraded kernel from kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 to kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0 (athlon) b) Upgraded alsa-driver from alsa-driver-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1 to alsa-driver-0.9.0-fr0rc6.2
(alsa utils is alsa-utils-0.9.0rc5-fr1) Suddenly gnome-alsamixer starts dying whenever I play an mp3 on xmms and either the current mp3 finishes playing and the next one starts OR I hit the stop button. So I though, "OK, rebuild the rpm (gnome-alsamixer-0.9.2-fr1). I did so and the behavior was unchanged. I went back to the previous alsa-driver and the problem goes away. Here is the result of the strace of gnome-alsamixer when the problem is exhibited: (this first line is repeated a few billion times ...) > ** (gnome-alsamixer:10581): WARNING **: gam_toggle_init (). No idea what to do here! > > ** (gnome-alsamixer:10581): WARNING **: gam_toggle_init (). No idea what to do here! > gnome-alsamixer: simple.c:1404: snd_mixer_selem_has_playback_volume: Assertion `elem->type == SND_MIXER_ELEM_SIMPLE' failed. And I get the crash box with the buttons to submit a bug report, etc. (Here are the relevent alsa rpms I have installed... alsa-lib-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1 alsa-utils-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1 alsa-kernel-0.9.0-fr0rc6.2_2.4.18_19.8.0 alsa-lib-devel-0.9.0-fr0rc6.1 alsa-driver-0.9.0-fr0rc6.2 alsa-xmms-0.9.7-fr1 ) Any suggestions on tracking this one down would be appreciated.
