[MPlayer-users] mplayer doesn't compile with alsa-1.0-pre1

[Steffen Sauder]

Hello everyone,

the alsa-team has released version 1.0.0pre1 of alsa-driver and 
alsa-lib, and the current cvs version of mplayer won't compile with the 
new version.

configure fails because it only checks for version 0.9, after doing the 
obvious quick hack to the configure script compilation still fails.
I guess it might have something to do with the introduction of a new 
ALSA PCM API as described in a post on the alsa-devel list
( 
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09892.html), 
but I'm no expert on this subject.

I am running gentoo with kernel 2.6.0-test10 and alsa-lib-1.0.0pre1. 
This configuration is rather fresh, so I might have done something wrong 
during the updates, but at least the configure script needs to be fixed 
(but you would never accept my quick hack as a patch, as I had no better 
idea than to exchange 0.9 with 1.0 :o)

gruss,
Steffen
