zentara has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi This may be stretching the OT rule, but I'm trying to compile the Audio-1.028 module, with Perl5.8.3 and ALSA-1.0.4

It used to work with ALSA-0.9.7(earlier version). Now when I try to make, it gives an error: 

linux.xs:97: error: too few arguments to function `snd_pcm_hw_params_g
+et_buffer_size'

[download]
The line 97 is: 
dev->chunk = snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size (dev->hwparams);

[download]
It seems that that function is from /usr/include/alsa/pcm.h Does anyone know what extra parameters need to be added to make this work correctly? I have tried a few WAG's like (dev->hwparams, dev->samp_rate), and the module will then compile, but segfault when run. Any clues?

Did you check rt?

    I know it won't help you directly, but at least it lets you know that the module's author is working on it: Audio fails make on snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size

    PS - I don't know if you're rcook :)
