Hello.
I am having trouble with the 'softvol' plugin in the newest version of
ALSA and I would appreciate some help.
Here is what's happening. Yesterday I was running with this config:
---------------------------------
Driver version: 1.0.14rc1
Library version: 1.0.13
Utilities version: 1.0.13
---------------------------------
and 'softvol' was working great. There were, however, other problems
which forced me to upgrade to this:
---------------------------------
Driver version: 1.0.18a
Library version: 1.0.18
Utilities version: 1.0.18
---------------------------------
This fixed my original problem, but broke a much more important to me
'softvol' plugin functionality.
Here is the relevant config:
---------------------------------
pcm.nforce "plughw:nForce2,0"
pcm.audiophile "plughw:M2496,0"
pcm.softvol {
type softvol
slave {
pcm "audiophile"
}
control {
name "SoftMaster"
card M2496
}
}
---------------------------------
When I try 'aplay -Dsoftvol -v test.wav', it runs with this (correct)
output: http://pastebin.com/m75e730cc
but there is no sound and my CPU is immediately and continuosly 100%
used up by aplay. I tried to route the sound to 'nforce' and got exactly
the same results, so it's not a driver issue.
This clearly suspicious CPU usage tells me that there is a serious
problem with this version of ALSA, or the way I installed it, but what
would I have to do to break just *one* plugin?
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Val
