Could we get a squeak/etoys package with a fixed alsa-plugin ASAP, please?
Someone would need to rebuild Fedora's squeak-vm-3.10-5 package with Derek's
patched sqUnixSoundALSA.c file (attached to the forwarded msg below). The etoys package is
unaffected.
Unless you can/want to use his binary, that is.
Yes, does sound a bit like hardware.
Can I get a replacement? Preferably the HS version once it's ready? ;)
