[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#238212: pcm.c:5889: snd_pcm_mmap_commit fails; fixed in 1.0.3b

[Kurt Erickson]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal


Running xine or mplayer on a quicktime or mpeg file produces this
error:

xine: pcm.c:5889: snd_pcm_mmap_commit: Assertion `frames <=
snd_pcm_mmap_avail(pcm)' failed.
Aborted

This is caused by a bug in libasound2 1.0.3; it is patched in 1.0.3b.
I recommend you update the package asap.
