that's a non-starter :) at the very least, you'd better make sure you always use a period size larger than the maximum scheduling delay you think you might encounter, since arecord writes to disk from the same thread as one audio I/O is done from. ecasound would be a much better idea, much, much better. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
