[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#428454: libasound2: no sound output with 1.0.14-1

[Tino Keitel]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I upgraded from 1.0.13-1 to 1.0.14-1 today and no ALSA application was able
to do any sound output. mplayer -ao oss still worked.

Here is the error message from mplayer:

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D2p
failed: No such file or directory
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

I just took mplayer as an example because it has the most verbose error
message.

I also tried aplay and MythTV, no sound in there, too. After downgrade to
1.0.13-1 everything worked again.

The kernel is 2.6.21, sound hardware is Intel HDA in a Mac mini Core Duo.

Regards,
Tino
