the term "polling" in not very useful here. all ALSA supported hardware can be "polled" in the sense that a program can stop and wait for it to be ready to read or write from. no hardware support over and above the minimum necessary for basic audio i/o is necessary for this. i think you're describing something that is generally known as "multi-open", in which the hardware supports multiple independent (but generally synchronous) streams of audio data to be possible, and each process that opens the device gets a new stream. the streams are mixed in hardware before being delivered to the physical outputs. i am not sure how "polling" (of any kind) relates to this. care to explain? --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
