Running v2.6.25.8-rt7 (and other kernels I have tried) and recording
with ecasound I'm getting messages like:
I have had serious problems, including recording failures and kernel oops/lockups with alsa and kernel 2.6.25, such that I've reverted to 2.6.24 for now. I had neither time nor expertise to track the issues down, but figured I'd try again in a little while and see if it was more than a temporary issue. I too got those huge break numbers, but if you avoid real time (use nice and more buffering), you may find they become more sensible. Irrespective of scheduling choices, though, the system was still unstable. Problems of various types occurred with all alsa input use, not only ecasound, so it was clearly a kernel/driver issue. I was using the usb driver with a creative external device.
2.6.25-tuxonice-r4 was unstable, 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 works without a hitch, same alsa library, same user level software, same kernel compile config.
warning! playback overrun - samples lost! Break was at least
1214667212122.58 ms long.
Could this be a false alarm?
I have also gotten the following error message (repeated many times):
Unknown device state '3'
This one causes recording to stop, for sure.
Any idea how to track down these issues?
Thanks!
