I would like to further clarify some things. I actually need get triggered when the ALSA device started to run, meaning the device is producing or outputting samples. FYI: The actual sound controller is connected via an I²S interface and synchronizes on its the word select signal. After the synchronisation, additional configuration must to occur before you can get valid samples from the ALSA interface. The configuration is lost upon synchronisation loss (ALSA device is not running anymore). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
