Description of problem: hdspmixer, the control application for RME Hammerfall/HDSP and related hardware, crashes every time it is started (failing to even get a window visible). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start hdspmixer 2. crash 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: 1) grabbing upstream alsa-tools source and compiling produces a working hdspmixer 2) stacktrace from starting it on my system: HDSPMixer 1.6 -

Unfortunately I don't have one of these cards so it's hard for me to reproduce. But it's certainly strange that it works if you build it yourself, because the RPM build doesn't do anything particularly unusual. Here are the logs: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/alsa-tools/1.0.22/1.fc12/data/logs/x86_64/build.log What configure options (etc.) do you use? Can you help to track down what it is that differs in the RPM? Perhaps it's a particular configure option, or a file missing or in the wrong place or something?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
The bug is identical in Fedora13 and I know someone who has seen it in F14 also.
The bug has surfaced in other distros, but is apparently fixed in ALSA GIT: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=5006
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 656514 ***
As per bug #656514, there are now updates for F-13 and F-14 that should fix this. Thanks for the report.
