You should do most of the hw setup in the .hw_params callback. You get pointers to the substream and hw_params structures and you have to setup the hw and the buffer as requested. These macros may be useful params_period_bytes(), params_buffer_bytes(), snd_pcm_substream_sgbuf(), snd_sgbuf_get_addr(). There are many others, look at the sources :) -- Giuliano. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
