on most PCI-based hardware, the audio interface interrupts every N audio frames, where N is generally a power of two. on USB-based hardware, the audio interface interrupts every N milliseconds. asking ALSA for a period size of B bytes and expecting to get that from the hardware is, uhm, unrealistic. to be honest, i wasn't even aware that ALSA provided an API for this. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
