Topic

Updated alsa-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The alsa-utils packages contain command line utilities for the Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture (ALSA).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Due to an error in the underlying code for the pcm_read and pcm_readv

functions, the "-d" and "--duration" parameters for the "arecord" command did
not behave properly. This update corrects the error and thus fixes the behavior
of these parameters. (BZ#1167358)

Users of alsa-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
