why don't you set the sizes based on frame counts, not time? i suspect you're more likely to get better results. >should be able to use the set_period_size_near call so that it selects >the next closest value, so that I achieve a result as close as possible >to what I want. This seems to fail with the current setup on some sound >cards, but works with other sound cards. i hope you handle the failure to get buffer_size/8 properly ... you need to be willing to go all the way to buffer_size/2 before concluding that you can't configure the device. --p ------------------------------------------------------- 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
