I'm trying to debug a problem with my sound card, and I think my lack of C knowledge is stopping me. When I run aplay, it takes as much cpu as it can get and never comes back. Strace shows it is in a tight loop. So far, I've found that the last call from the app is snd_pcm_writei. Looking at alsa-lib, this is a wrapper (assertions for safety checks) around _snd_pcm_writei - and there the trail stops.

What do I have to do to find the code for this function (or for any other function beginning with an underscore) ? I seem to recall that names beginning with underscores are special in some way, but that's the limit of my knowledge.

TIA,

Ken
