As you can see, the "front" device acts correctly, with all the pointers acting as they should.
But with "dmix", all the pointers are wrong.
This is particularly problematic for me, as I need a properly functioning "delay" value for my application.


This is using alsa from 2.6test5 kernel.


is it through the rate plugin?
there was a bug about rate plugin together with dmix, which was fixed
recently on cvs.


Takashi




How do I tell if it is using the "rate" plugin? I am outputing a single stereo signal at 48khz, 16 bits. Where do I configure the rate that dmix works at natively?


at best you can dump the pcm status to the error log from your app.
to check the rate conversion, comparing the status in
/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params would be enough, though.
if the hardware uses a different sample rate, surely the rate plugin
is working.

anyway, if you're using the cvs version of yesterday/today, it must be
ok.


Takashi



"rate" is not being used.
application outputting at 48khz, hw_params set at 48khz.
I have tested with latest alsa-lib anon cvs.

So, this is a new bug.

Cheers
James
