I downloaded the ALSA sample source codes (https://gist.github.com/ghedo/963382) and test running under putty window, it works. However when put into the startup script (eg. rc.local) with or without "sudo", it crashed.
Note: The application only crashes after auto-run from power on; if run the script in putty (command line), no problem.
After added logging before each snd_xxx function calls, found the application stop after call snd_pcm_hw_params_any, meaning it crashes after snd_pcm_open and snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca. Following is code:
g_pLog->LogInfo(LOG_SYS, "[audio]snd_pcm_open"); /////logged
if ((pcm = snd_pcm_open(&pcm_handle, acDev, /////PCM_DEVICE, acDev="default:0"
SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0)) < 0)
{
sprintf(acLog, "[audio]Can't open \"%s\" PCM device. %s\n", acDev, snd_strerror(pcm));
g_pLog->LogInfo(LOG_SYS, acLog);
return -1;
}
g_pLog->LogInfo(LOG_SYS, "[audio]snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca"); /////logged
/* Allocate parameters object and fill it with default values*/
snd_pcm_hw_params_alloca(¶ms);
g_pLog->LogInfo(LOG_SYS, "[audio]snd_pcm_hw_params_any"); /////logged and is the last line
snd_pcm_hw_params_any(pcm_handle, params);
g_pLog->LogInfo(LOG_SYS, "[audio]snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access");
/* Set parameters */
if (pcm = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(pcm_handle, params,
SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED) < 0)
...
After collect the core dump file and use gdb "bt full" to check, the result is:

I am wondering what the difference is between running in putty and running from power-on startup script, and how to solve this failure. Appreciate if you can advise...
