 |
|
| Hi all i use kde3.4 with alsa 1.0.8 and the last 3 days i have problems with kmix and xine(and kaffeine) crashing.When i launch xine-ui or an another gui such as kaffeine and then try to open and play a file they are crashing.Also kmix is crashing often with no cause or when i launch a file in gmplayer.I search the forums and i find that this is like a problem with alsa and its final version 1.0.8 and i have to downgrade to an earlier version.How can i do that?Also that may fix the problem or starting thoughts to delete kde and choose an another lighter window manager? |

Yep, it's a bad package. I had to downgrade to 1.0.7 to fix it, not hard.

That should take care of it. Once you ensure that that's all your packages, remove the -pv and let it go. |

A better way would be to mask all the >1.0.7 packages in /etc/portage/package.mask until the problem gets fixed, or they will just get upgraded if you do an emerge -upD world.

You're right on that one ... I don't actually use Alsa any more, but alsa-lib and alsa-headers still get installed, and downgrading just alsa-lib fixes my xine problems.
As a general rule though you should try and keep all the Alsa stuff (and that goes for the drivers esp. if you're using those in the kernel instead of the alsa-drivers ebuild) at the same revision no.
