alsa-1.0.17 final is out

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

alsa driver only compiled for me with kernel 2.6.25.

Older kernels (2.6.24 and 2.6.23) have some compilation errors.

I compiled the whole suite, and it fixed the problem of a great
amount of noise when playing midi files using intel onboard sound cards.

thanks, builds OK for F9/F8, but for EL5 it fails, although EL%5 did
build properly with 17rc3 (?). EL4/EL3 were failing on 1.0.16 already,
so they stay at 1.0.15.

What error did you get for EL5?

When I tried to compile alsa 1.0.17 for kernel 2.6.24,
I got a single error of strict_strtoul being undefined.
I think the problem is because I am using kernel headers from
kernel 2.6.25.

Anyway, I created a patch which declares this function
and I could create the rpm.

I am sending you the patch for you in case you had the same problem.

And the attached patch allowed me to compile alsa-1.0.17
for kernel 2.6.23.

For rhel5 we need this last patch plus another one, for not defining
power of two.

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/alsa-driver-1.0.17-69.fc8.src.rpm

Should be built for rhel5 USING:

--with old_kernel_hack

I compiled it for the kernel below, with no problem at all
(I do jnot know if it is the latest kernel):

alsa-kmdl-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5-1.0.17-69.el5.i686.rpm

rhel4 is a lost case ....

The error is with is_power_of_2

It is fixed. Please, just use the .src.rpm I upload. There are two patches.
One is for the power of two and the other declares two missing prototypes
for older kernels.

I also removed the bcond. I test the kernel version now.

It compiled fine for kernels 2.6.18, 2.6.23, 2.6.24, and 2.6.25.

Sorry, I had written this mail, had to go to lunch and then pressed
send before checking for new ones, so I hadn'r read about your fixes,
yet!

Thanks for fixing it, the builds go through smoothly, but alsa builds
take a lot of time. Some may already have surfaced on dl.atrpms.net.
