I had a user accidentally use some packages he didn't intend to earlier
and ended up with this error:
: module-alsa-source.c: Assertion 'u->hw_dB_supported' failed at
modules/module-alsa-source.c:742, function source_get_volume_cb().
Aborting.
I'm not sure if it's related.
In your case it seems the driver is not returning decibel volume range
after reporting that it supports it.
This call:
snd_mixer_selem_get_playback_dB_range(u->mixer_elem, &u->hw_dB_min,
&u->hw_dB_max)
is returning >= 0 which is success but it is filling both the db volumes
with zero.
I'd guess this is an alsa error, but someone more familiar with all this
stuff will be able to answer more authoritatively.
(also I do not know what the valgind macros do, but I would assume they
do not zero out the values in some cases (e.g. with older valgrind.h or
whatever)....
VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_DEFINED(&u->hw_dB_min,
sizeof(u->hw_dB_min));
)
