Summary: load_for_all_cards fails with existing configuration elements
In snd_config_hook_load_for_all_cards, the first call to
snd_config_search attempts to locate an existing configuration node with
the name of the driver. Typically none is found, and everything is
good. However, if such a node is located, the next line assumes it is a
leaf node with type 'string' and calls snd_config_get_string to fetch
the string value. If this fails, the entire hook is abandoned.
Because of this, setting something like the following in asoundrc:
cards.<driver name>.foo 0
is sufficient to disable the entire card-specific configuration.
As a concrete example, I have a HDA-Intel sound card. dmix.conf includes
a way to set period_size, period_time, and periods by using
configuration elements of the form cards.<driver name>.pcm.dmix.<var>.
In ~/.asoundrc I add
cards.HDA-Intel.pcm.dmix.period_size 1024
This will cause HDA-Intel.conf to fail to load, and the pcm defined in
default.conf will fail to find the device-specific pcm
cards.HDA-Intel.pcm.default, and fall back on the default pcm using
plughw. By attempting to configure dmix, I have disabled it.

When adding a configuration node to another, check that the child node
does not already have a parent. Otherwise, the old parent's children
list would become corrupted.

Make sure that we do not crash when encountering configuration nodes
with a NULL string value, or that at least we run into an assert().

snd_config_add() checks for duplicate ids, but it was possible to create
duplicates by adding a note and changing the id afterwards with
snd_config_set_id(); so we have to add a check there, too.

Make sure that we do not crash when encountering configuration nodes
with a NULL id. Furthermore, since we cannot avoid having NULL ids
anyway, allow the id of a top-level node to be reset to NULL.

The variable $ALSA_CONFIG_PATH specifies the config path, but the current
code accepts the empty string and results in a mysterious error because
no config file is found.
This patch fixes the check of the variable and takes the default value
if the string is empty.

Added --with-configdir and --with-plugindir options to configure
which specify the directories for config files and plugin objects
respectively. The default paths when these options are not
specified are unchanged.
- add snd_device_name_hint() and snd_device_name_free_hint() functions
- add snd_ctl_iface_conf_name() functions
- do not accept parameters for the plugin definition without @args section
- add defaults.pcm.dmix.card/device and dsnoop.card/device definitions
- add hints for HDA-Intel.conf, pcm/dmix.conf, pcm/dsnoop.conf and alsa.conf
- add test/namehint test utility
- doxygen related cleanups
safe_strtoll() now accepts numbers in any base. It formerly assumed that
its input was a decimal number, which had the consequence that
hexadecimal or octal numbers would be parsed as strings when occurring
outside of parameter lists.
This obsoletes some workarounds in the file permission parsing code that
relied on this bug.
From: Pierre Ossman <drzeus-list@drzeus.cx>
Freeing the global config update structure when it had been created
without any configs present caused an assertion to trigger. Since this
is a valid scenario and the assertion didn't really protect against
anything, it should simply be removed. Attached patch does exactly that.
Fixed problem with EOF detection in freestring parser.
Fixed problem with run-time argument parsing (snd_config_load()->snd_config_load_override() replace).
Added more documentation for configuration run-time arguments and hooks.
Fixed the behaviour of snd_config_search_definition() - implicit and explicit base.
