Hello, I'm using Gentoo on AMD64 with ALSA and an M-Audio Envy24/ICE1712 sound card. I would get errors about setting periods whenever I tried to run ices on ALSA with dsnoop, so I made this patch that turned the periods error into a warning. Everything has been working fine since then. The patch is attached, if anyone is interested. Maybe the error can be safely changed to a warning? Thanks!
