Hello Clemens,
the device is called "dummy-audio", check this output of aplay:

As far as I know, this is just some audio driver, that Intel made for
their Edison platform. I get the sound-data via I2S into an external
soundcard, that reads the I2S data and produces some audible noise from
the data. Anyway, if I use mpg123 (like this: "mpg123 -a hw:1,0 -v
test.mp3" ), sound works fine, so the interface works fine. It just
won't accept my settings, but here's more information on that, while I
try to answer your questions the best way I can.
period_time has the value "2000" before I use the function
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(*pcm_handle, hwparams,
&period_time, &dir); and has the same value of 2000 after I call it. And
yes, I do call snd_pcm_hw_params() in my program after having set the
period_time.
For further understanding, here are the functions I call in my C-program:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(*pcm_handle, hwparams,
&period_time, &dir);
if( err != 0 ) {
printf("%s:%u error setting period time (%s), error-code:
%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(err), err);
}
err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near( *pcm_handle,
hwparams, &buffer_time, &dir );
if( err != 0 ) {
printf("%s:%u error setting buffer time (%s), error-code:
%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(err), err);
}
err = snd_pcm_hw_params( *pcm_handle, hwparams );
if( err != 0 ) {
printf("%s:%u error installing hwparams (%s), error-code:
%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(err), err);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In addition, if I try to use the function
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size() as an alternative to
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(), I get the error
"main_alsa.c:231 error setting period size (Unknown error -22),
error-code: -22". Here is how I call it:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
val = 96;
dir = 0;
err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size(*pcm_handle, hwparams, val, dir);
if( err != 0 ) {
printf("%s:%u error setting period size (%s), error-code: %d\n",
__FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(err), err);
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Any additional help would be really appreciated.
All the best and thanks in advance,
Dennis
