Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.0.24.2-1 Severity: normal In alsa-utils 1.0.23-5+b1, the following works: (Instead of /dev/null, you can also pick a WAV file)
------- snip ------- $ aplay -q /dev/null; read -p "Enter number: " aplay: playback:2372: read error Enter number: ^C (I hit Ctrl-C here) $ ------- snip ------- As of alsa-utils 1.0.24.2-1, this does not work anymore: ------- snip ------- $ aplay -q /dev/null; read -p "Enter number: " aplay: playback:2455: read error Enter number: bash: read: read error: 0: Resource temporarily unavailable $ echo $? 1 $ ------- snip ------- aplay seems to do something strange with stdin. There are also other programs that seem to behave in the same way, see bug #638072 about "vzctl". Maybe that could be an indication that the actual culprit is libreadline (currently installed: libreadline6 6.2-2 and bash 4.1-3) -- I can reproduce the behavior of alsa-utils 1.0.23 and 1.0.24 without changing libreadline, but maybe the newer alsa-utils just triggers a libreadline bug. The file /usr/share/doc/alsa-utils/changelog.gz for 1.0.24 lists this: aplay/arecord: Added hardware pause support (press SPACE or Enter) Maybe this introduced the described problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (25, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii dialog 1.1-20110707-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncursesw5 5.9-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii linux-sound-base 1.0.23+dfsg-4 base package for ALSA and OSS soun ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 172-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii whiptail 0.52.11-2.1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe Versions of packages alsa-utils recommends: ii alsa-base 1.0.23+dfsg-4 ALSA driver configuration files ii pciutils 1:3.1.7-12 Linux PCI Utilities alsa-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
