Hi,
Suppose, an ALSA playback device is opened in blocking mode, and one
thread calls snd_pcm_writei. If the snd_pcm_writei call blocks, because
the internal buffer of the ALSA device is full, is there a way by which
another thread can interrupt the call, so it returns immediately without
writing
ng ALSA drivers)? Is
it safe to assume that ALSA will not use dmix if the sound card (and the
ALSA driver for it) supports hardware mixing?
Best regards,
Florian

- What consequences does disabling the dmix plugin have? What essential
features of ALSA will be missing without it?

Hi,
The snd_pcm_pause function of the ALSA API is not supported on all audio
hardware.
Is there an official list (e.g. on the web) of known sound hardware,
which supports this feature? Is there another way to determine whether a
certain hardware supports snd_pcm_pause without having to test the
