Well, it doesn't seem to be completely okay... I occasionally get the error "Initial write error: broken pipe" and it just shuts down (well, it actually just hangs because the incallback mutex is never cleared - I need a timeout in there) the callback if things get too much for the poor thing to take. I did also notice when running the pcm example in async mode, if I started moving scrollbars and the like in my KDE environment, continuous glitches came into the audio. Even if I decide not to use async mode, I'm going to have to redo my code a bit more to work properly under Linux... while it was fine under Win9x-style multitasking, it's now dropping out all over the place... - Tom. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
