Hello, The device nodes opened by alsa-lib are private, and are not meant to be used after exec(). Setting the close-on-exec flags avoid leaking devices file descriptors into unintended processes. Further more, the Linux kernel O_CLOEXEC flag is used if available for fully thread-safe operations. configure.in | 2 ++ include/local.h | 23 +++++++++++++++++------ src/control/control_hw.c | 11 ----------- src/hwdep/hwdep_hw.c | 11 ----------- src/pcm/pcm_hw.c | 12 ------------ src/rawmidi/rawmidi_hw.c | 11 ----------- src/seq/seq_hw.c | 11 ----------- src/timer/timer_hw.c | 11 ----------- 8 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
