Hi! I have a Soundblaster Live and didn't have any problems with alsa until rc3. I'm using xmms with the xmms-alsa output plugin. Since rc3 xmms segfaults sometimes with the message: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:292:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar Unable to install hw params Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x23e5d)! Segmentation fault "Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar" means "not enough memory", the main memory, but I have 768 MB physical memory and about 600 MB swap. That shoud be enough. Switching to the oss output plugin xmms doesn't crash but it skips sometimes songs or skips part of them. xmms produces the messages: ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar ** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl failed: Nicht genügend Hauptspeicher verfügbar I can reproduce the errors with ogg123 using alsa09 or oss output sometimes, but much less than using xmms. alsaplayer doesn't have any problems (*knock on wood*). Switching back to 0.9.0rc1+2 solves the problem for days, but then it started again. Since then, there was a new alsa package, so I tried 0.9.0rc3-0.3 (updated all alsa and libasound packages). It doesn't solve the problem. I don't see any reasons why this error occurs. The systems neither had a high load nor was much memory used (values from xosview). Does somebody have the same problems? What could this be? The system ist Debian/Testing. Shade and sweet water!
