Hi. If I run: cat /dev/urandom | aplay -f cd --buffer-size=1024 then the hardware buffer size is 1024 - I can see this using: grep buffer_size /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params If I run: cat /dev/urandom | aplay -f cd --buffer-size=8192 then the hardware buffer size is 8192 - again I can see this using: grep buffer_size /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params This is only possible because aplay has an option to change the requested buffer size. Some applications don't have this option. Is there a way to change the hw buffer size by changing some parameter in my .asoundrc? I've tried using the following .asoundrc: pcm.!default { type hw card 0 device 0 buffer_size 4096 } but I get an "Unknown field buffer_size" error message from aplay.
