abramo, honestly i find it a little unfair to correct me on a sidenote and completely disregard the true intention of my mail (at least that's the impression i got).
all i am saying is the documentation is not giving the ALSA programmer a clear picture of what which function is used for. the introduction is very helpful, but it gives too little detail to prepare for the minimalist documentation on the functions themselves imo. to write code as delicate as a high-performance pcm-engine, a programmer needs confidence in the API, especially since this code is hard to debug in realtime. you can only give this confidence by taking your programmer by the hand and telling him exactly what you are doing when he calls your functions. btw, where exactly is >clearly stated in documentation that in ALSA PCM all sizes and >offsets are expressed in frames where this is applicable. please? and do you think it would really be bad to repeat this piece of information next to the functions/data structures it applies to? tim _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
