One question. What are the issues with the current 3.8.13 which are fixed in version you are trying to build?

One question. What are the issues with the current 3.8.13 which are fixed in version you are trying to build?

I don't know if it fixes anything. But you know my main interest in the raspberry is to use it as a small audio player as a replacement of a Squeezebox player.
So often it is used together with a USB-DAC. Personally I have no problem with the current piCorePlayer with the USB-DAC that I use, but I get reports that some USB-DACs still produce a cracklling noise from time to time from other users.
It is amassing, but there are more than 200 downloads of the piCorePlayer

My previous piCorePlayer was based on linux 3.8.12 - and there were some problems that were mostly solved by changing to the fiq_split fix version (3.8.12 based).
 
Then came the 3.8.13 version which was much better than the 3.8.12 version - but recently the fiq_split branch also have been updated to 3.8.13, and even one more change has been done in the USB-handling in this branch which is not present in the "pure" 3.8.13 linux.

Therefore I thought that this version might be even better than the "pure" 3.8.13 linux - and wanted to give it a try. But unfortunately I can't compile a new fiq_split 3.8.13 kernel.

And I thought that I finally could manage to build new kernels (I did make a 3.8.12 and a fig_split version based on 3.8.12).

Looks like you're missing bash.

Thanks to both of you, somehow I managed to fix the problem. Unfortunately it is not entirely clear to me what was the cause of it, and what I changed - but anyway it is working now.
