Summary:                    aoss + skype: volume_adjust: SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN
failed: Invalid argument
Description: 
I've tried 'skype' with my M-Audio Revolution 7.1.

Soon (probably in a second) after this command line:

aoss skype &

the terminal window gets filled with

volume_adjust: SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN failed: Invalid argument

messages, and I do not hear anything in 'skype' connecting to their
automated 'echo123' service.

The message is not quite clear, and I believe it shouldn't flood the
screen.

I mean, the code should first check capabilities of the card and its
configuration and
issue the message once.


What is IGAIN in the message above ? Input gain ? That is, capture gain ?

Were you ever able to get this working?

Am I still supposed to compile the patch and the whole ALSA or the patch
is already in the main code ?

Anyway, now even with non-redirected STODUT/STDERR and lot of

volume_adjust: SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN failed: Invalid argument

messages the sound with Skype is smooth; I do not know whether it's due
to
changes in Skype, quality of connection or slightly different kernel
- now it's 2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB instead of 2.6.11-6mdk-i586-up-1GB.


I hope to make and upgrade to Mandriva 2006 next week, I think it has
ALSA
vesrion 1.0.9b.
