Furthermore, the patch itself is easy to spot, and (if an individual *really* wants to keep rvplayer working for the time being on a, by then, disobedient system) it is possible to back it out while keeping the rest of the machine going (at least up to 2.1.121, 2.1.122 untested here yet).
I suffered (for a moment) when rvplayer broke, but recollected that the 2.1 series is where things ought to be right, and broken applications may remain broken.
The files to alter are audio.c, dev_table.h and dmabuf.c. It's a terrible kludge, but easy to do after reading the patch for 2.1.120. I'm not posting my patch because it's simply wrong; it's just a local work-around.
