Re: [Openvortex-dev] Re: [Alsa-devel] Re: [ALSA - driver 0001138]: errors when installing au8820 modules

[Alien]

that is exactly what i had done, a few months ago, i pinpointed the problem to 
a hwwrite (which i found odd; actually the first hwwrite that ever happened).

after using printk's to visualize the mmio and calculations there upon. i 
noticed that the calculated address was totally too big and the >>2 was the 
problem, when deleting the >>2 and the then (typecasting unsigned long), i 
solved that error, i uncommented a few other stuff that gave oopses and the 
result of that (with printk's ) can be found here: 
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1047

cause that's when i noticed that the sound hung, first i thought it was some 
combination with ntpd sync, but that didn't seem to be it. after using the 
patch with modification, the result remained the same. now i believe that the 
sound hangs whenever i try to play too much sounds at the same time (instead 
of just aborting).

well, there you have it...
