Sorry, at the end I did not do what you recommended me. Sorry. But maybe now it's better to reconsider the whole story. right now (running kernel 4.9.0-rc5ho+) (I compild it from vanilla and added that custom version name), the situation changed somewhat. Infact, it seems opening the audio device at the wrong moment can panic the kernel. Actually I am in a hurry, still: a line like this options snd_hda_intel power_save_controller=0 power_save=0 seems to let the system survive fine. To anyone reading: this isn't a solution. thank you and sorry again, Enrico _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
