EVALUATION Need to investigate. ###@###.### 2004-05-19 Turns out that in 2 places an int variable was passed to an ALSA function that takes a pointer to a 64-bit variable on amd64 systems. Therefore, 4 more bytes were initialized by the ALSA function, overwriting another int variable. This fix most probably also fixes 5056845. ###@###.### 2004-06-08

PUBLIC COMMENTS On a 64-bit Linux on Athlon64 or Opteron, Java Sound's support for ALSA is not working. On 32-bit Linux, ALSA is working on AMD processors. ###@###.### 2004-06-01 The first problem was mainly due to wrong installation of ALSA. Then a crash was encountered, which is fixed for tiger-rc. ###@###.### 2004-06-08
