Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: emux: Stop voices before freeing zones in all cases
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:16:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020101624.205638-2-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020101624.205638-1-tiwai@suse.de>
The emux voice caches the soundfont zone pointer in vp->zone, which
is referred to later, e.g. in snd_emux_send_effect(). For avoiding
dangling pointers, the soundfont code calls the sample_reset callback
to stop all voices before freeing zones. However, in a few cases
(e.g. emu10k1's missing sample_reset or the call path via
remove_info()), the sample reset isn't called properly, leaving the
playing voices.
Fix it by always registering the sample_reset callback, falling back
to snd_emux_terminate_all() when the driver has no own ops, and by
calling sample_reset in remove_info() before freeing the zones.
