Hmm, what I see is certainly not a LARGEFILE issue.

Yes, true, forgot to mention that. We locally patched to use 1.0.19 but
that was merely because I hoped to fix the problem by that - the same
problem exists with 1.0.18. And I got this problem since a long time and
always patched my way around it (by overriding the value with some
hard-coded constant) as I thought it is a minor issue that will be fixed
sooner or later. But as it turns out, the problem seems to be bigger and
might also have other impact than just that single failing function
call.

I'll build alsa-lib and alsa-utils with OE tomorrow and see whether that
makes any difference.
