Hello All,
 
I was wondering if there is an error with the SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE ioctl
documentation page
(http://manuals.opensound.com/developer/SNDCTL_DSP_GETISPACE.html) in
the following section:
 
**********
It's very important to understand that this ioctl call will return
bytes=0 before the recording process has been started. It's necessary to
start recording by calling write() or SNDCTL_DSP_SETTRIGGER. If this is
not done then the application will probably hang forever waiting for the
recording to start.
**********

Should it be read() instead of write?  Changing it to: "It's necessary
to start recording by calling read() or SNDCTL_DSP_SETTRIGGER."?

If it is documentation is correct could someone explain why you need to
write when initiating the recording process?

Thanks,

-Paul
