That isn't good. Default automatically runs the sound through dmix.
    And it has a set frame rate of
48000. Other rates are software resampled. I want to avoid that and
    only use the hardware sample rates
    so that there is no resampling on the sound.

    Is there a way to configure sound with pulse audio to avoid this,
    or do
    I have to remove pulse audio in order to
    get direct access to alsa?

    Thanks.


try running pasuspend before running your app.


I don't find that app. I find pasuspender, but it wants me to connect to a server. I installed everything pulseaudio related except for the esound compatibility module. That had a conflict with esound which is already installed. Haven't tried removing pulseaudio yet, I suppose that is next. Unless you have any other suggestions?

Well, I removed everything pulseaudio related and the problem was still there. Yesterday there was an update to both the kernel and all of the alsa packages. Suspicion moves there. The last production version of alsa-lib on Fedora 7 had disabled support for all floating point sound formats. Perhaps a similar regression has happened with the new version.

The error occurs in function snd_config_search_alias_hooks in file conf.c of alsa-lib. This calls a define which is a function,
SND_CONFIG_SEARCH_ALIAS.
I can't trace the actual error because there is nothing to trace, but the error number is -2.
