Bus error with alsaloop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #85 was opened from philipp-fischer:

## Behaviour
alsaloop crashes with a bus error (SIGBUS) immediately

```
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0
Bus error
```

## Analysis and debugging

Very verbose output:
```
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0 -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Bus error
```

Debugging with backtrace (binary without dbg symbols):
```
[...]
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0xb6dbd394 in src_short_to_float_array () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsamplerate.so.0
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb6dbd394 in src_short_to_float_array () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libsamplerate.so.0
#1  0x00016a20 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
(gdb)
```

So the error seems to happen in `libsamplerate.so`

Switching the sync method to "SIMPLE" prevents the error from happening as alsaloop doesn't seem to make use of libsamplerate in this case.
The following modes run without failing but don't give the desired results:

```
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0 -S 0  # SYNC_TYPE_NONE
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0 -S 1  # SYNC_TYPE_SIMPLE
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0 -S 2  # SYNC_TYPE_CAPTRATESHIFT
pi@pi-snapserver:~ $ alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:3,0 -S 3  # SYNC_TYPE_PLAYRATESHIFT
```

Only `SYNC_TYPE_SAMPLERATE` and `SYNC_TYPE_AUTO` (which selects SYNC_TYPE_SAMPLERATE) fail.

The modes `SYNC_TYPE_NONE` and `SYNC_TYPE_SIMPLE` don't crash for me, but they don't work and result in increasing latency until the fifos reset. (Which is another issue I guess)
