>Is ALSA architecture ready for 24bit/192khz cards? I believe it is. I can't think of anywhere in ALSA that sample rate plays a major role in limiting resources or capabilities.
OTOH, I don't know if the kernel can handle this with the smallest periods. 64 frames/interrupt translates to an interrupt every 0.3msec. Running with HZ=1000 is reported to cause a 6% increase in CPU load spent on the system clock interrupt. This is more than 3 times that level, with an arguably more expensive IRQ handler. Still, for large frames/interrupt setting, it should be pretty good, and besides, you can still choose a period setting thats the same as current 48 or 96kHz cards can get. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
