KDE / ALSA interaction problems

[bdubbs@…]

From Denis Trofimenko:

It seems like this patch should fix the problem. ​http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69320 Don't know if it was backported to KDE_3_3_BRANCH, but at least in kde-3.3.0 sources I have, I don't have this. I can try this patch at our evening and if it will fix the problem, then I think it should be added to the BOOK, because this fix will be only available in CVS or kde-3.3.1 I will try it and will write to this list tomorrow.

The KDE 3.3.1 is out. It already includes this fix, as well as a lot of other fixes. So, after the BLFS will be upgraded to KDE 3.3.1 the bug can be closed.

Update BLFS to KDE-3.3.2 which has the problems fixed
