OK, then could you check the version in OBS multimedia:libs/alsa, too? Just to be sure to check whether I missed something in the package before 1.1.3. In your case, it's PA, so the dmix and such plugins don't matter. And UCM isn't used for HD-audio nor USB-audio. So the only relevant patches are: 0004-pcm-Better-understandable-locking-code.patch 0013-pcm_plug-Clear-plugins-on-all-error-conditions.patch 0014-mixer-Don-t-install-smixer-modules-unless-python-is-.patch 0018-pcm-Add-the-PCM-state-checks-to-plugins.patch The most suspected one is 0018-*. 0004-* is only about the naming and the flip logic, no real functional change. 0013-* is about the special error case, and usually it won't happen. 0014-* is about the unused *.so file, so it should be irrelevant. Do you want me to build a test package with a revert?
