Hi,
Do you know of any problem with alsa and uclibc and kernel 2.6.23 on arm?
I built a uclibc buildroot, now all works fine except alsa. Aplay can
see the devices, but alsactl cannot change the mixer levels:
# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: EMX270 [EM-X270], device 0: AC97 HiFi AC97 HiFi-AC97-0 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: EMX270 [EM-X270], device 1: AC97 Aux AC97 Aux-AC97-1 []
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
# aplay -L
default:CARD=EMX270
EM-X270,
Default Audio Device
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
# alsactl restore
alsactl: set_control:1159: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Speaker Playback
Volume:0' : Inappropriate ioctl for device
# alsactl store -f /root/sample
alsactl: get_control:218: Cannot read control '2,0,0,Speaker Playback
Volume,0': Inappropriate ioctl for device
The devices in /dev/snd seems ok:
# ls /dev/snd/ -l
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 0 Dec 31 17:00 controlC0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 24 Dec 31 17:00 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 16 Dec 31 17:00 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 17 Dec 31 17:00 pcmC0D1p
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 33 Dec 31 17:00 timer
The strange thing is that in an Angstrom Linux based on glibc and the
same kernel and alsa-lib/utils/libasound version (same patches, same
all) it works without problems.
last few lines of strace output of alsactl restore :
open("/usr/lib/libasound.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=959649, ...}) = 0
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = 4
close(4) = 0
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = 4
ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_CONTROL, 0xbef809cc) = 0
ioctl(4, UI_DEV_CREATE, 0xbef80ab0) = 0
ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_CONNECTINFO, 0xbef80634) = 0
ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_HUB_PORTINFO, 0xbef80748) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate
ioctl for device)
Any idea?
Thank you in advance!
best regards,
ing. Federico Fuga

Hi Federico!
I'm observing the same problem with ALSA as you.

Think these lines are key to understanding what the problem is.

Hi Ivan,
which kernel version and kernel headers are you using? Mine are 2.6.23.1
and 2.6.23, but now I am trying to move the kernel headers to 2.6.21
(Angstrom linux works without problems, but are based on different
kernel headers).
uclibc I am using are 0.9.29, alsa 1.0.14.
The failing ioctl is identical both in the working (Angstrom) and not
working versions, and since the kernel is the same (really the same!) I
am thinking that is only a problem between the "glue" of uclibc and
kernel...
I'll keep you informed.
Regards,
ing. Federico Fuga
(sorry for the duplicate mail!)
