Instead it did make all play attempts (even non MMAP) to crash. (no crash details available since I desided to forget about it for now, working on unrelated issues for awhile) I did disable the MMAP so that player wont crash when requesting MMAP. System still dumps the bad pages at unload, play and capture seem to work OK, not tested extensively thou. -- Timo_______________________________________________Alsa-devel mailing listAlsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
