[Openal-devel] Patch for intermittent ALSA capture

[Jason Daly]

Chris,

I discovered that I can't call alcCaptureStart(), then alcCaptureStop(), 
then alcCaptureStart() again.  This is with oal-soft 1.3.253, using the 
ALSA backend. 

I attached a patch that fixes it.  Basically, you just need to call 
snd_pcm_prepare before each call to snd_pcm_start (not just the first 
one).  If you don't do this, the second and subsequent start calls 
return an error, which snd_strerror reports as "File descriptor in bad 
state".
