Hello all,
I'm working on a little app utilizing 'lasound' and I've got bassically
what I want. However, somewhere there is a fault. Editing a random
variable causes a segmentation fault. I've tried gdb but except it
telling me where the application crashed (which I already knew) I did
not get anything useful out of it. To minimize my own potential errors I
have here below the example script from where I started (though I have
removed some unnecessary stuff) and commented out the 'long *outvl' and
'*outvl = -1'. Uncommenting, compile, and run this and I get a
segmentation fault.
The original script is available at the following link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7657624/get-master-sound-volume-in-c-in-…
Can someone tell me where this is going wrong?
Thanks in advance, Maarten
