I've used to think that low-latency processing would need accurate DMA pointer (op mode == element) while mp3 playback would need low power consumption (op mode == threshold). Peter: what's the status today how well can we do low-latency processing with threshold mode? IRCC, with your FIFO delay query patches, can we estimate the DMA pointer position with enough accuracy? -- Jarkko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
