[UM-LINUX] audio code with alsa

[Michael Wasser]

Anyone have any experience coding with ALSA?  If so, any idea what might 
cause a 'broken pipe' error when calling snd_pcm_writei().  The command 
seems to work for about 8 calls (24 frames of 16 bit 8000hz audio each 
call) then starts to return the broken pipe error.  I previously used 
pulse audio (which worked) using the same timing for the write commands.

Again, wasn't sure if any here have experience with this.  If anyone 
does, I can send more info about my problem ... the alsa dev 
documentation seems to be spread thin at best.
