[vdr] bitstreamout problems

[Wolfgang Rohdewald <wolfgang@rohdewald.de>]

Hello

Only with bitstreamout, my syslog gets about 1000 lines per second like this:
Oct 25 02:54:03 mm kernel: ALSA sound/core/pcm_lib.c:1968: BUG? (noise_dist <= (snd_pcm_sframes_t)runtime->silence_threshold) (called from de93925b)
I cannot hear problems with sound (only tried ARD without DD)


Next question: I want to use the ALSA dmix plugin. 
This works, I can have twenty aplay instances play simultaneously.

However bitstreamout wants exclusive access to the sound card. How can I change that?
This is why I want to use bitstreamout: I want to synthezise
EMail subjects and other messages like "Anruf von soundso" without interrupting
whatever vdr plays.

My configuration: vdr 1.3.14 bitstreamout 0.61b linux 2.9.10-rc1

mm:/proc/asound# cat devices
  0: [0- 0]: ctl
 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture
 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
 33:       : timer
mm:/proc/asound# cat cards
0 [SI7012         ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
                     SiS SI7012 at 0xdc00, irq 11

It seems this card cannot output 44100hz data, only 48000.

my asound.conf is:
pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer  {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0,0"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 4096
        }
        bindings {
                0 0
                1 1
        }
}

ctl.dmixer {
        type hw
        card 0
}
