I think I found the problem. In 1.0.0preX, the supported sampling rate is limited to 48000Hz and this causes all kinds of problems if running with lower rates (I've mostly tested running at 8000Hz) - i.e. when using alsa-lib for sr-conversion. With 1.0.0pre3, for example "arecord -r 8000 - |aplay -r 8000 -" produces constant xruns. A similar app that relies on poll()/select(), fails even more severely. When looking at... /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params and /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/hw_params .. the rate is locked to 48000 with 1.0.0pre3. On the same machine with 0.9.8, the hw-rate is 8000. I've used the 'default' PCM device in all my tests. > does this laptop have multiple codecs? you can find them in > /proc/asound/card0/codec97#* directories.
