ok it has been done it limping along but its working bearly but if things were working i would [sloved] listed but thing is atrs is not working thats becouse the alsa much better and it one i am set in the thing to do list is 1. is have alsa and jack to mulittask 2. or have an over ride switch for to ride atrs swich sucks for fact that it take avantage of my delta 1010lt as preson i wish that i know how to write programs to make it better or pay some to do it linux is the next audio develpment
platform alsa ajck need become better so it stanger that any patfrom aout for windows and mac wich by the way to costly for some live 5$ a day. if and when alsa and jack work even better and alot easyer set up it could be the stonge audio platform in the world the idea of softwere runnning as not drivers but as system of audio design i see the poltinal of these two software programs it si about freedom of caretive power of one mind

I just updated my previously working system and it broke with this same problem.
New
Kernel = gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r7
Alsa = 1.0.11

Old
Kernel = gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1
Alsa = 1.0.10

Every time I attempted to start anything that used sound I would get a segfault with an oops and "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address"
Even switching back to my old working kernel would segfault the same way.

Repetative searching of the forums allowed me to locate a reported (and still open) bug with module-init-tools-3.2.1
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117883
Downgrading back to module-init-tools-3.0-r2 solved my problems
I didnt pay atention to everything that updated as I had not made any changes since early February and over 70 packages needed updates so it is quite possible that module-init-tools got updated along with the rest of the stuff.
