[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#546642: Bug#546642: alsa-utils: alsactl segfaults

Sat Oct 17 09:32:04 UTC 2009

I just found out by accident about this:

	http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=7;bug=546642

That message never reached my inbox :(  Picked up the mbox; trying to
provide 'moreinfo', as I'm still seeing those messages:

No segfault and no core file here.  Just:

,----
| Unknown hardware: "Audigy2" "SigmaTel STAC9750,51" "AC97a:83847650" "0x1102" "0x1021"
| Hardware is initialized using a guess method

Hm...  Don't follow you.  What kind of useful info would df provide?

No dice :(  No segfault.

That guy stopped speaking to me a long time ago :)

Yes and yes.

Maybe the attached dmesg fragments may provide a broader picture of
what's going on att boot?
