[Buildroot] aplay fails because of alsa-lib build issue with uclibc and versioned symbols - (Solution included)

[Gururaja Hebbar K R]

Hi,

i had tried aplay before built statically with CodeSourcery toolchain
and it worked successfully on my arm board.

when i tried aplay built shared with buildroot uclibc arm926ejs
toolchain it failed with below error

mnt/mmc # aplay /home/default/10Sec_44.1K.wav
Playing WAVE '/home/default/10Sec_44.1K.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:1012: unable to install sw params:
start_mode: DATA
xrun_mode: STOP
tstamp_mode: NONE
period_step: 1
sleep_min: 0
avail_min: 0
xfer_align: 10
silence_threshold: 0
silence_size: 0
boundary: 1073741824
/mnt/mmc #

When i searched on the internet for below error, i found that this error
is mainly related to alsa-lib and uclibc and it requires adding
--with-versioned=no as an option to alsa-lib ./configure.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/50595

i added the same to alsa-lib.mk and now its working fine.

		./configure \
		--target=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) \
		--host=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) \
		--build=$(GNU_HOST_NAME) \
		--prefix=/usr \
		--with-versioned=no \
		--sysconfdir=/etc \
		--enable-shared \
		--enable-static \
		--disable-docs \
		$(DISABLE_NLS) \


Kindly can someone shed some light on this and if required can someone
add patch to alsa-lib make file.

Thanks in advance
