[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#391041: libasound2: "ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565" ... "ipc_perm must be a valid file permission"

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer]

Package: libasound2
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: normal


With libasound2 1.0.13-1:

When logging in to KDE I get this message:

*** 1:

Informatinal - artsmessage

"Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (Invalid argument)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

[ ... ]

*** 2:

When trying to play critter:

 [ .... ]
INFO: Initializing Audio...
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_perm must be a valid file permission
*ERROR*: Init Audio (Mixer): failed # No available audio device

[ .... ]

ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1565:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_perm must be a valid file permission
No available audio device


*** 4:

alsaplayer: no sound. Ditto Noatun.

Although I can "hear" gtkpbbuttonsd when raising or lowering
the volume via <fn> - F5/F4


***

Workaround:
These problems above are gone when downgrading to libasound2 1.0.12-1


Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards
Wolfgang
