Hi, Since the upgrade from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10, the EMU 0404 USB card does not work any more. The alsa version changed form .17 to 19. The card didn't even show up in pulseaudio, so I investigated it on the pulseaudio list and Lennart Poettering came the conclusion that it's an alsa issue. The gist of the problem ass told by Lennart: <quote> Hmm, apparently the ALSA API function snd_pcm_hw_params_set_periods_near() fails in all cases. We ask for the exact value of periods and it fails. We tell it to use a higher number of periods than what we ask for and it fails. We then tell it to use a lower number of periods than what we ask for and it fails again. Whatever we do, it doesn't accept setting any periods. We could tape over this: simply ignore that this fails and go on. However this is certainly breakage in ALSA. So please file a bug against ALSA and tell them that on your card snd_pcm_hw_params_set_periods_near() always fails. Then refer them to the pa_alsa_set_hw_params() functions in PA. </quote> And <quote> Ah, that's interesting. Apparently your sound card does not support integral number of periods. </quote> The pa_alsa_set_hw_params() functions can be found here: http://pastebin.com/f6f7c9130 The full pulseaudio thread is here: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2008-December/002691.html and continues here: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-January/002914.html I haven't filed a bug report yet, I'd like to get some comments from the alsa developers first. Also, under which project should this be filed?
