Comment:

 ALSA client code that assumes that mmap access is always available is
 broken. The applications needs to be fixed because it makes false
 assumptions about the drivers. mmap is not available on PA as alsa
 backend, on many hw sound drivers as well as jack backends, bluetooth or
 firewire. If the application assumes it is available it is thus not
 compatible with any of these.

 Also see the part about the "Safe ALSA Subset" here:
