Hello Jaroslav, thanks a whole lot for helping me out - but this brings me to another point. Where can I find such exact information about the functions? To me, the doxygen-docu does not contain this information as clear as you wrote it. Even now, I do not understand the doxygen-docu the way you write it. Where is a good source for documentation? I do NOT want to read the whole sourcecode of the alsa-lib...
