[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#359283: libasound2: FTBFS on AMD64

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.10+1.0.11rc3-1
Severity: important


Hi,

I'm trying to get dmix to work on my ICE1724 soundcard in an amd64
system.  dmix works with kernel 2.6.16 and libasound2
1.0.10+1.0.11rc3-1 in a i386 chroot.  The amd64 system only has
version 1.0.11rc2-1, which does not work, because the newer one is not
available.  Therefore I tried to compile version 1.0.10+1.0.11rc3-1
from sources with this command:

  fakeroot apt-get -b source libasound2

The compilation almost crashed my system by starting an enormous
amount of libtool.sh processes.  It used 1.5GB of RAM+swap and the OOM
killer did not manage to kill the processes fast enough.
