Hi,

I have segfault issue with aplay on Buildroot generated image x86 with 
Linux kernel 2.6.35.
I found some post where modification of Linux kernel source helps 
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/86868. Could it be 
related to my problem?

Here are my logs, please ask for more details you need:
