hello everone. i am now debuging the multi-channel device on my embeded board with alsa-lib.The version alsa-driver and alsa-lib is 1.0.24. -----------------------------> zz@board:$ ls /dev/snd/ by-path controlC0 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1p seq timer <--------------------------- i edit the asoundrc configure file.like this: ---------------------------------------------------> pcm.!default{ type hw card 0 } ctl.!default{ type hw card 0 } ################################# ## create a virtul device which has 4 channels for playback. ################################# pcm.multi_playback{ type multi; slaves.a.pcm "hw:0,0"; slaves.a.channels 2; slaves.b.pcm "hw:0,1"; slaves.b.channels 2; bindings.0.slave a; bindings.0.channel 0; bindings.1.slave a; bindings.1.channel 1; bindings.2.slave b; bindings.2.channel 0; bindings.3.slave b; bindings.3.channel 1; } ctl.multi_playback{ type hw; card 0; } pcm.ttable{ type route; slave.pcm "multi_playback"; slave.channels 4; ttable.0.0 1; ttable.1.1 1; ttable.2.2 1; ttable.3.3 1; } ctl.ttable { type hw; card 0; } <-------------------------------------------------- and then get the Segmentation fault: --------------------------------------------------------------> [root@board /tmp]#./pb_pcm_min open...ver:[0.71] playback...capture...device=[multi_playback] #####################snd_pcm_open... zz[snd_dlsym_verify:122],vname=[_snd_config_hook_load_dlsym_config_hook_ 001] zz[snd_dlsym_verify:127] zz[snd_dlsym:167] zz[snd_dlsym:171],name=[snd_config_hook_load] zz[snd_pcm_open_conf:2163] zz[snd_dlsym_verify:122],vname=[__snd_pcm_multi_open_dlsym_pcm_001] Segmentation fault [root@board /tmp]# <--------------------------------------------------------------- To my surpris, it will be fine when run on the PC under the Ubuntu system.I used the same alsa-lib source code and the configure file asoundrc. in my codec-driver .i have not call the functions :snd_soc_add_controls() / snd_soc_dapm_new_controls() / snd_soc_dapm_add_routes(). is it the reason? But the programm have not arrived here. i have traced the source code when the Segmentation fault happened the alsa-lib was calling the function dlysm() with the param vname=__snd_pcm_multi_open_dlsym_pcm_001. But this will not happen on my PC under Ubuntu. could you help me find out what's wrong with me? thanks a lot. zw _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
