My interpretation: two cards will drift. or something. can you be more clear about what you mean? they will drift if you do use the same clock chip? or they will drift if you don't? whats a clock chip? is a word clock signal a "clock chip"? >Q: will this be as simple as calling snd_pcm_open for n streams, and >snd_pcm_link (stream[0]) for streams [1, n - 1]? >A: Yes. Note however that link is realized "as best as possible" then >you may have some microseconds between the start/stop of different >cards. but does this have anything to do with multi PCM, and does it do anything about drift? does snd_pcm_link() do the important work in user space or kernel space? >Q: Does multi PCM run in sync? >A: Yes, of course. so the multi PCM code now handles drift and corrects for it? that wasn't true some time ago (or so says the mail archive). --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
