Hi,

I have solved that problem.
While compiling the kernel, the alsa modules (not the alsa-driver, but
that one included in the "vanilla" sources) are compiled with the option
-mabi=aapcs-linux.
When compiling the library, that option is missing, using, as default,
another abi and, evidently, another data alignment => another struct
size => another ioctl.
I send you that for reference, but I think that a more general solution
should be nice.
Best regards, ant thank you for your interest.
