Spotify - kernel update - P2P ERROR 632

Hi,
after latest kernel update -> 3.9.4.1 i have problem with linux version of spotify. I can log in, i can search for songs but i cannot play selected stream/song. I get some 8 digit error message like : cant connect bla bla try later ... If i look in terminal i see this:

21:53:33.920 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:25       ] Using Alsa
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
21:53:34.024 E [audio_streamer_decompressor.cpp:296] playbackError(-2)
21:53:34.482 W [peer_connection.cpp:118         ] 84.184.74.196:51125: P2P ERROR 632
21:53:43.686 E [ap_handler_impl.cpp:1786        ] ChannelError(1, 1, link-tracks)
21:53:44.221 I [recommendations.js:17           ] Failed to get top playlists

I tried reinstalling spotify, building again from source, downgrade, downgrade latest alsa-utils, removing cache and config files but no luck. I found somewhere that kernel might cose problems so i downgrade kernel to 3.9.3.1 and now spotify works. This problem affect only linux version of spotify. Win version runs under wine with no problems. Does anyone else have same problem?

Re: Spotify - kernel update - P2P ERROR 632

The error message about P2P may be a red herring on why your music is failing to play/stream, and more likely to do with the previous line/s:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

I've successfully streamed and played music through the Linux Spotify client, with kernels linux-3.9.4-1-x86_64 and linux-ck-core2-3.9.4-2-x86_64 - I see 632 and 635 errors in both cases, but music still streams and plays, so I think you can disregard that as being the cause.

For comparison;

Re: Spotify - kernel update - P2P ERROR 632

Thanx for the answer. Luck of time and "fix bin" update took my attention from spotify problem. I can report that after successfull upgrade, counting kernel update to 3.9.4-1, spotify works normaly as before.
