hdspmixer/ubuntu

[Tim Blechmann]

hi all,

the current version of ubuntu ships alsa-tools without hdspmixer [1], probably 
because of the problems of older versions with newer kernels (iirc a hardcoded 
preprocessor definition made the old version unusable). while it is still 
possible to compile a working hdspmixer from sources, this is quite inconvenient 
(especially for newbies).

questions:
- is there a plan to release a 1.0.24.2, including the hdspmixer fixes?

- gitcompile currently does not work on ubuntu, but requires this patch [2] in 
order to run the autotools. according to the name, it is already required for 
older versions 

- compiling ld10k1 fails with:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa-tools/ld10k1'
Making all in setup
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa-tools/ld10k1/setup'
Making all in effects
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tim/workspace/alsa-
tools/ld10k1/setup/effects'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `simple.emu10k1', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.
  is this a problem on my side?

thanks, tim

I agree with David (from the bug report) that there might be some
trouble with the build system or missing dependency.

That's not exactly true. I guess calling gitcompile in the hdspmixer sub
directory (in contrast to the toplevel directory) would give you a
working hdspmixer.

I don't know if Ubuntu provides non-security related updates after a
release. If not, somebody should simply package a git checkout in a PPA.

this is *exactly* what i was trying to do. however simply copying the `debian' 
folder to a checkout doesn't seem to work because the configure scripts are 
missing. to generate this, i need the mentioned patch.

the easiest way would be to have a 1.0.24.2 bugfix release. i suppose this would 
actually make it into the ubuntu release.
