Hi, I'm developing an 8 channel recorder based on alsa0.9.0beta10 and a Terratec EWS88mt sound card. I'm now using a 2.4.18 kernel with the Andrew Morton patches applied. I really want to be able to record/playback at the full 96k 24bits on all 8 channels simultaneously, but I need absolutely no u

Hello, I have a Terratec Audiosystem EWS64XL soundcard that has the sam9407 and cs4232 soundchip. In the past i used the sam9407 drivers from http://www.anime.net/~goemon/linux-sam9407/ together with the snd-card-cs4232 driver from ALSA version 0.5.x. This combination worked fine. The sam9407

Hi, we've converted our app from OSS to ALSA in 3 days(!). It's working beautifully, we just need to get time support running again... Is there any documentation on the timer api that goes beyond what's on the alsa-project pages? We're trying to sync Video and Audio, and all we need is a way t

I help develop the xine media player in linux. http://xine.sf.net For audio/video sync, we do not use any timer on the sound driver. We use a concept of delay. This delay value is a measure of time between "Sample being placed in the audio buffer now" and "Sample being output to speakers". The d
