[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#503673: alsa-base_1.0.17.dfsg-4_all linux-sound-base_1.0.17.dfsg-4_all lock-up my system

[Juergen Pfennig]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.17.dfsg-2
Severity: normal


Effect: XOrg (or whatever) hangs if using audacity for recording.
The system becomes very unresponsive (X is dead, ACPI button does not
work) but can be rebooted via ssh. No dmesg or log output that could
help.

Repair: Reinstall dfsg-2_all and it's fine again.

More info: the audacity setup was cleared. KDE sound output worked fine.
alsamixer showed nothing strange. One input device (hw 0,2 or so) was
not displayed in the audacity input-select combo box. Hardware: ASUS
Pundit 3 with RS690/SB600 mobo.

Thanks for the fun, it's raining outside.
