Description dedrick 2000-11-17 04:30:01 UTC

I just did CVSUP with to upgrade the latest stable kernel.  
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4, in my CVSUP file.
I got FreeBSD 4.2-BETA.  I did not ever expect to be upgrading from stable
to Beta.

Now I have massive sound card problems.  Specifically, now kmp3 just dumps
core whenever run, and mpg123 is able to play one song, after which it says 
"No supported rate found!"

What does this mean?  When I reboot the machine, I can again play one song,
then I get the "No supported rate found!" error again.

I am absolutely certain that the problem is in the kernel.  What's going on?
How could I ever get Beta stuff with CVSUP stable?

Thanks.

Can you confirm you still have a problem with more recent sources? 

I am unable to ascertain if any relevant fixes have been committed to 4-STABLE 
since you filed the PR, since you didn't state which soundcard you are using.

Here's what I have run in to before, and again, tonight.

Normally, mpg123 works fine.  Once in a while it comes up with "No
supported rate found!"

I finally remembered the workaround.  I run the mp3 through splay, which
makes static.  I hit control C and subsequently, mpg123 runs just fine.

This suggests to me that something sets the audio system in a bad state.
Splay gets it halfway fixed, mpg123 just barfs.

I confirm this behaviour on 3.x and 4.2-RELEASE.

Next time I run in to this, I'll check lsof | grep audio for potential
culprits.
