[linux-dvb] KWORLD 323U, kernel panic when trying to access ALSA interface

[Marios Andreopoulos <opensource@andmarios.com>]

Hello,
I own a KWORLD 323U USB hybrid tv tuner.

My problem is about the analog sound. When I am trying to access the alsa audio interface of this device I get kernel panics.
I use commands like these in order to transfer audio from the tuner to my sound card:
$ sox -r 48000 -c 2 -v 1 -t alsa hw:1 -t alsa hw:0
$ arecord -D hw:1 | aplay -D hw:0 -

When I use OSS I generally do not get kernel panics, although I have them on some occasions:
$ sox -r 48000 -c 2 -v 1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

A couple of times, after playing with OSS (changing sample rate or number of channels) I managed to use ALSA without a kernel panic but I didn't manage to find a workflow that will allow me to use ALSA every time.

I have tried both the in kernel drivers (kernel version 2.6.31) and the latest drivers from the Hg tree as described in http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers

I would appreciate any help as OSS gives me a terrible audio lag and ALSA -both times I managed it to work- seemed to not have any significant audio lag.

In case there is anyone interested in this tuner I will add that I haven't managed to get DVB-T or the remote to work.

My dmesg output in case it helps:
