Change the handling of non-fatal errors. Now the non-fatal error messages are not shown in stderr and no assert() as default. The behavior can be changed with LIBASOUND_DEBUG environment variable.

Old versus new PCM API (values returned using indirect pointers)
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
From the binary compatibility view, there is no change. For compilation,
|
|
1.0 ALSA applications do not need any change. The older applications must
|
|
use this include sequence:
|
|
|
|
#define ALSA_PCM_OLD_HW_PARAMS_API
|
|
#define ALSA_PCM_OLD_SW_PARAMS_API
|
|
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
|
|
|
|
If you use already the new API, you may remove old defines selecting
|
|
this API, because they are no longer used:
|
|
|
|
#define ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API
|
|
#define ALSA_PCM_NEW_SW_PARAMS_API
|
|
|
|

Verbose Error Messages
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Since version 1.0.8, assert() for some non-fatal errors are removed
|
|
and error messages are no longer shown to stderr as default. Instead,
|
|
the error messages appear only when the environment variable
|
|
LIBASOUND_DEBUG is set. When LIBASOUND_DEBUG=assert is set, the
|
|
default error message handler calls assert() to catch with a
|
|
debugger.
|
|
|
|
This feature is disabled when --with-debug=no is passed to configure,
|
|
i.e. no strict checking is done in alsa-lib.
