Come to think of it, perhaps it's only kernels
2.6.3-2.6.8 that have
this problem which should definitely cover myself, Kevin, and Tim. The
thread that Mark Knecht kindly provided suggests that the problem is
either in the kernel or Alsa's driver within the kernel. Someone
should try the latest CVS Alsa (me? :-) and perhaps that should shed
some light as to where does the problem stem from...
i've got that problem on
2.6.9-ck3 ...
i'm not sure, where the value for the vu-meter is computed, in the card
or in the driver ... if it's in the driver, i suppose there is a wrong
area of memory that's considered as sound data ... if it's computed in
the hdsp itself (possibly, since the hardware mixer is quite powerfull)
there might be a problem with the dma on certain machines (although i
don't think that it's related to ico's and my problem with our hdsp)
cheers ... tim
