Summary:                    Segfaults all functions after
snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size (params,(snd_pcm_uframes_t *) & val);
Description: 
I am new to Alsa and am not happy at all at the state of documentation
available.
You guys seriously need to do something about this.

I have an M-Audio Audiophile Delta 192 (ICE1724) and I want to port
envy24control for this chip, However I first need to familiar myself with
the ALSA API. So I began by looking for simple examples on how to use ALSA
API and came accross the followinf prog (Attached file test.c).

The program compiles cleanly with gcc-4.1 and runs, however after it
prints out the ..."buffer size = 8192 frames"
It segfaults.

If you slash out line 104, it resolves the issue.

My question is,

Is there a bug in this function?
Code was obtained from http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6735

thats great, only one problem I have no idea how to write a driver, but let
see if ALSA will  help. So help!

the card is ..
05:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24
[Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)

now we look at the VIA website,..
The Max sample rate on the card is 192KHz

So this would make it more a 24HT than a 24PT, but the number of channels
on the card would blend it with a 24MT too.

So then...Acording to VIA this should have the following capabilities...

24HT
------------------------
Max Output Channels - 8
Max Input Channels - 4
24bit on either Analog or Digital I/O
and 192Khz ||

the 24MT however matches the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192 closest with the
following 

24MT (according to VIA) --- (according to physik)
Max Output Channels - 2  ---  (2x RCA OUT (Main Out L/R, Mon Out L/R)
Max Input Channels - 2  -----  (1x RCA IN (In L/R) + 1x S/PDIF IN )
24bit on either Analog or Digital I/O ----- (true)
and 192Khz || ---- (true)

So then wat do we do, is the linux pci ID incorrect?
Ok lets believe its true and stick to a 24HT


I have no idea wat ur talking about with the AKxx and the ADC/DAC

So wat do WE do?

I have enough C and C++ knowledge to write a driver however, i do not have
to knowledge to hack an existing ALSA driver. I could write a new driver
from scracth but I cant until the ALSA API is properly documented.

So was to I do?

You should find out the label of the "envy24xx" on the largest chip, the
label of 48-pins ac97 chip if the chip use AC-link) or the label of the
ADC/DAC (black ic) if the chip use I2S link)

lspci -vn

Your card should have different PCI Subsystem vendor id and device id 

You don't need to write from scratch, search the alsa-devel mailing
archive and find out those topic about 'patch to add support for
particular iec1724 card'.
