I am using ALSA in a gstreamer project. When playing many videos (with audio) in the same application and the same gstreamer instance every once in a while (maybe once every 500 times) I will receive the following errors (in a call chain that passes through snd_pcm_open) confmisc.c:1286:snd_func_refer: alsalib error: Unable to find definition 'defaults.pcm.dmix.device' alsa conf.c:4154:_snd_config_evaluate: alsalib error: function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory alsa conf.c:4633:snd_config_expand: alsalib error: Evaluate error: No such file or directory alsa pcm.c:2211:snd_pcm_open_noupdate: alsalib error: Unknown PCM default The next playback will be fine. Looking through the ALSA code it seems that the configuration data should be cached and re-used unless the number of config files changes, or the files themselves change (name, device, inode. mtime) So I am wonder why on one instance of snd_pcm_open I'd end up with this error but not on most previous or subsequent calls. All the ALSA configuration files are the defaults, I have no ~/.asoundrc, and I'm running version 1.0.23 Thank you, Gavin Stark _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
