Package: alsa-source
Version: 0.9.0rc7-4
Severity: important

  Kernel: 2.4.20 (custom build)
  Sound card: emu10k1 (SBLive 5.1 Digital), sharing IRQ with USB (UHCI)
  Built using: gcc 2.95.4-17 / libc6 2.3.1-13

After some time (several open/close cycles of /dev/sequencer?), the next
attempt to use the device will cause any open attempt to return ENOMEM. The
usage counts of snd-emu10k1-synth, snd-emux-synth and snd-emu10k1 become
non-zero and are incremented for each open failure, rendering them (AFAIK)
unremovable without a reboot.

To trigger this, I've found it sufficient to run some lxmusserv-using Doom
port several times [1]; though I don't think that it matters which program is
used, I don't currently know whether it matters if AWE emulation/support is
used.

The problem appears to only affect OSS sequencer usage; pmidi and programs
which use other OSS devices still work.

(You may well find that applying the patch in bug 180932 to lxmusserv is
helpful here with regard to OSS-emulation timer issues.)

I am closing bug reports against alsa-source that are more than one year
old and that relate to upstream aspects of the package.  The reports are
too old to be of any use now.
