[linux-audio-dev] Re: [Alsamodular-devel] ams compile issues [was: qsynth configure script fails on debian [qt]]

[Matthias Nagorni]

Hello Eric,

this is a known problem with ALSA 1.0 incompatibility. Has been fixed in
CVS. Solution (from an earlier posing on this list):

> Just make the beginning of alsa_driver.h look like this:
>
> #ifndef __ALSA_DRIVER_H
> #define __ALSA_DRIVER_H
>
> #define ALSA_PCM_OLD_HW_PARAMS_API   /* <-- These are the lines */
> #define ALSA_PCM_OLD_SW_PARAMS_API   /* <-- you need to paste in*/
>
> #include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
