That's a bit strange. The amd64 specific bits are for capget / capset
which are only used if you're running the Linux pulseaudio daemon,
they're not used by the client code so I don't suspect a problem
there.
The rest of the code works fine (at least under light use) on my
FreeBSD 8.2 i386 machine. The only changes between this patch and
the previous are:
a) Mucking linux/syscalls.master in i386 & amd64 ... unlikely
to be a problem.
b) "Cosmetic" change to linux_to_bsd_msghdr / linux_sendmsg to
also ignore msg_controllen. The change was unnecessary and
rather minor, however it made the msg_controllen handling
more symmetrical.
Not sure what would have work on the i386 and not amd64 in what
I mucked. :-(
Are you sure the problem is with the later patch? Did anything else
change in your environment? Does paplay work? If not, what does
paplay / pulseaudio daemon debug report?
I'm not setup with CURRENT or amd64 ... how do you want to proceed?
Do you want to provide access to a CURRENT/amd64 machine that I
can reboot / muck the kernel? Do you want to debug this? Should
I invest in setting up FreeBSD CURRENT/amd64 running under QEMU / Virtualbox?
Don't mean to be asking too many questions. :-) Just interesting in
the game plan.
