true. ;-) Could you give a status update please?

The ALSA Wiki has some information about debugging [1]. Most of the time
it is best to contact the list alsa-devel directly [2].

It still should not segfault. I guess the ALSA developers would like to
hear about that. Their bug tracker is not used much so please contact
the list alsa-devel [2] directly.

Carlos also had sound problems and answered to this bug report without
putting you in CC though. To find out if your two problems are related,
could you try if booting with `pci=use_crs` fixes your problem [3]?

If not, I suggest to contact the ALSA developers on the alsa-devel list
with a pasted output (no mangling due to automatic line breaks and plain
text message please [4]) of the script `alsa-info.sh` [1].

I downloaded all messages for this report using `bts show --mbox 637620`
and imported those into Evolution. Unfortunately it was more work to
follow up on the problem because your mail program on your phone does
not implement certain standards and even deletes spaces in the subject
line. In my opinion, next time it would be better if you could answer
from a system which keeps the threading on so on. Most of the time the
delay of a few hours does not matter much.

Thank you for reporting the bug and hopefully it will get fixed soon.


Thanks,

Paul
