NixOS#492079 introduced a patch for CVE-2026-25068, which was backported to staging-25.11 in NixOS#492453. However, the patch fails to compile when ported directly to 25.11 since the way of doing error handling changed from an `SNDERR` macro to an `snd_error` function between v1.2.14 (which is on 25.11) and on v1.2.15. In order to fix this, we vendor the patch and change the offending line like so: ```diff - + snd_error(TOPOLOGY, "mixer: unexpected channel count %d", map->num_channels); + + SNDERR("mixer: unexpected channel count %d", map->num_channels); ``` Not-cherry-picked-because: fix that does not apply to unstable since it is on a later version of package
