Buggy emu10k1 drivers.
Kernel 2.4.5 has a working emu10k1 driver (all apps which hung with
2.2.19's driver worked fine, none of the working ones stopped working). Could we perhaps see this backported to the 2.2.20 prepatches so that us 2.2 lovers can enjoy working sound?

Can you give the CVS driver a try? Snapshots are available here:
http://opensource.creative.com/snapshot.html
The driver in the kernel is based on a CVS snapshot from last summer, the problem may be fixed in CVS. Also, the CVS driver is a common driver for 2.2 and 2.4 (with some #ifdef), so it may be useful to see if it works for you on 2.4.5 but not on 2.2.19.

if the driver in the kernel is that old, could we try merging a newer release? is there any reason why it has not been done yet?

A patch was submitted to Alan in April but appears to have never made it in, I'm not sure what his reason was.

can a patch against the latest 2.4-ac be resubmitted to the list and alan? if it again does not get merged, i will take a look at it and find what political problems it has. i use the emu10k1 and would like the updated driver.

Right after it was made I found out that it had broken mmap. Rui sent me a patch, then another. Seems he has committed most of that patch to CVS now but there are differences still. I'm not sure if the differences are actually still important, I may have to try building fresh CVS to be sure.
I don't know for sure if that's why Alan hasn't applied the new driver, but it was an issue that would have broken the patch he was given which is supposed to be fixed now. I'm thinking Rui has gotten busy in the meantime since he's been rather quiet lately.

Joseph Carter <[email protected]> Free software developer <jt> should a bug be marked critical if it only affects one arch? <james-workaway> jt: rc for that arch maybe, but those kind of arch specific bugs are rare... <jt> not when it's caused by a bug in gcc <doogie> jt: get gcc removed from that arch. :)

So why noone sends updated driver to Alan?

Tried 2.4.5 and 2.2.19 with the same snapshot code (emu10k1-20010617.tar.gz)
2.4.5 works, 2.2.19 doesn't.
Maybe 2.2.19 has deeper problems with my hardware which aren't in the driver, then, as identical code works on one and not the other.
