[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#275573: libasound2: PCM device number wrong for iec958 on emu10k1

[Martin Lenz]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

passthrough of AC3 sound from xine with my Soundblaster Live Value does 
not work any more with the current version of ALSA. Xine reported 
snd_pcm_open(), no such device. I suspect that the number of the 
iec958 PCM device has been erroneously changed in EMU10K1.conf. After
changing it (back?) to 3, it works correctly, like with previous
versions. See the following mini-patch:

--- /usr/share/alsa/cards/EMU10K1.conf~ 2004-09-26 19:17:05.000000000 +0200
+++ /usr/share/alsa/cards/EMU10K1.conf  2004-10-08 22:29:14.000000000 +0200

This may probably the same as bug #274951.
