Hello alsa-users list! I am using the alsa-lib in one of my projects and within this project, there is a call for snd_pcm_wait() on a machine, that plays sound. The call itself looks like this:
snd_pcm_wait( pcm_handle, 1000 ); A few steps before, I had the timeout set to unlimited (-1), which sometimes did not return at all. Now, it sometimes returns after the timeout, but in result I cannot write anything to the soundcard anymore. This error is reproducable if there are many underruns in a row. Since this program runs in a network environment and receives its data from a datastream, I sometimes cannot avoid those underruns. So, what could be the error, that leads to alsa not responding anymore? I can only revitalize the system after such an error by rebooting the whole system (well, at least I did not find another solution like snd_pcm_prepare or snd_pcm_recover). Which additional informations do you need? What is there, that I can provide in addition? Could this be an alsa-bug?
