Hi,

Why is it that snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near() under the
circumstances described below doesn't yield a single period size?
I do the following (driver 0.9.7a, sound card RME Digi96/8 PAD):
 snd_pcm_open plughw:0,0
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access interleaved
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format S16
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels 2
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near 11025
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near 5000 us
 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near 500000 us

When querying min/max period size in this particular case I still get
multiple period sizes in the configuration space (min 127, max 129).
However using snd_pcm_hw_params_test_period_size() shows that in this
case only a period size of 128 is available. Can someone please explain
this behaviour?


BTW, In the online documentation snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size() I read: Returns: 0 otherwise a *negative* error code if not exactly one is present

However clicking on the /test/pcm.c link brings up this fragment:
     err = snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(params, &period_size, &dir);
     if (err > 0) {
         printf("Unable to get period size for playback: %s\n", snd_strerror(err));
         return err;
     }

Why the test for a *positive* error value? Have some parts of the API
been changed perhaps?

Theo
