Summary:                    asfxload + aconnect called before dsp used causes
dsp to be locked
Description: 
PS: This bug is present in the alsa version in stock kernel 2.6.8.1 up to
1.0.8-rc2.

For convienience I like to have my wavetable loaded and midi connections
setup during bootup so I can use my midi keyboard by just turning on the
computer.

This worked OK with stock kernel 2.6.3 ( and whatever alsa version came
with it ).

Recently upgraded to stock 2.6.8.1 which had the modprobe
snd-emu10k1-synth freeze bug, but was able to work around this by
launching my wavetable loading script post the modprobe. Play back from my
keyboard worked great.

This is when I began to notice apps that accessed the dsp reporting that
they were locked out ( and did not produce any sound ). First would be
arts when kde started up, and then any dvd playing app ( ogle, mplayer,
xine, all of them setup to use alsa ).

Strangely though, alsaplayer still worked despite the fact that the other
apps didn't - could it be using some other way of plugin to the emu10k1
mixer ? 

Have tried upgrading to alsa-driver-1.0.7 ( which didn't play any
wavetable sounds at all - strange ), then to alsa-driver-1.0.8-rc2 ( which
does play wavetable sounds ) but none of these fixes this problem.

If I change the order of things - have artsd start up, start a dvd
playback, and then call asfxload + aconnect, then everything is mixed and
sounds great.

Please elaborate the procedure causing the problem.
Which command sequences did the crash?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 vinyvat - 01-12-05 18:50 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Done a little more testing, and this bug is dependant on the size of the
SF2. the One I put in the "reproduction" notes is huge -
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=31#127 Mb whereas
if I use a smaller one the bug does not happen.

Will update with exact reproduction steps when I get from work.

The computer itself has 1 Gigabyte of memory and I thought the emu10k1
cards loaded SF2 into the system memory - one of the very nice features of
the card.

After the asfxload the system still has plenty of memory.

Keep in mind that if I launch an app that keeps a persistent connection to
/dev/dsp ( like ogle playing a DVD ), and then go through the asfxload +
aconnect sequence, then everything works great - which is why this is such
an interesting bug.

Looks like there is no ALSA bug.  Close?

They I'd say it's not a bug of ALSA.  You really exhausted the memory by
loading  a big soundfont.

Note that the driver occupies the consitent memory area with soundfont
data.

apps didn't - could it be using some other way of plugin to the emu10k1
mixer ? 

Have tried upgrading to alsa-driver-1.0.7 ( which didn't play any
wavetable sounds at all - strange ), then to alsa-driver-1.0.8-rc2 ( which
does play wavetable sounds ) but none of these fixes this problem.

If I change the order of things - have artsd start up, start a dvd
playback, and then call asfxload + aconnect, then everything is mixed and
sounds great.

Got some rock-solid reproduction:

1. 2 files needed to reproduce:
Need a very large SF2 file. The very nice public one I'm using, "FluidR3
GM.SF2" at https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=37#148MB, is
at
http://inanna.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~swh/fluid-unpacked/. Cannot reproduce the
bug when using a smaller SF2 ( such as Creative's default 
2gmgsmt.sf2 at https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2#2MB ).

Some small *.wav file that you can cat > /dev/dsp and hear a nice sound.
I'm using rosegarden4's testfiles/audio/8bit-symbal.wav

2. To reproduce:

# as root:
modprobe snd-emu10k1
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth
alsactl restore

# as user that has permission to alsa /dev/XXX devices:
cat 8bit-symbal.wav > /dev/dsp # verify you hear a sound
asfxload "FluidR3 GM.SF2"
aconnect 64:0 65:0
cat 8bit-symbal.wav > /dev/dsp 

BUG:
No sound is heard, and I get the console error:
"cat: write error: Cannot allocate memory"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 tiwai - 01-13-05 12:41 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They I'd say it's not a bug of ALSA.  You really exhausted the memory by
loading  a big soundfont.

Note that the driver occupies the consitent memory area with soundfont
data.

Summary:                    asfxload + aconnect called before dsp used causes
dsp to be locked
Description: 
PS: This bug is present in the alsa version in stock kernel 2.6.8.1 up to
1.0.8-rc2.

For convienience I like to have my wavetable loaded and midi connections
setup during bootup so I can use my midi keyboard by just turning on the
computer.

This worked OK with stock kernel 2.6.3 ( and whatever alsa version came
with it ).

Recently upgraded to stock 2.6.8.1 which had the modprobe
snd-emu10k1-synth freeze bug, but was able to work around this by
launching my wavetable loading script post the modprobe. Play back from my
keyboard worked great.

This is when I began to notice apps that accessed the dsp reporting that
they were locked out ( and did not produce any sound ). First would be
arts when kde started up, and then any dvd playing app ( ogle, mplayer,
xine, all of them setup to use alsa ).

Strangely though, alsaplayer still worked despite the fact that the other
apps didn't - could it be using some other way of plugin to the emu10k1
mixer ? 

Have tried upgrading to alsa-driver-1.0.7 ( which didn't play any
wavetable sounds at all - strange ), then to alsa-driver-1.0.8-rc2 ( which
does play wavetable sounds ) but none of these fixes this problem.

Done a little more testing, and this bug is dependant on the size of the
SF2. the One I put in the "reproduction" notes is huge -
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=31#127 Mb whereas
if I use a smaller one the bug does not happen.

Will update with exact reproduction steps when I get from work.
