I don't think alsa-lib would do any dynamic configuration change by itself because it can result in inconsistency. Instead, when the config-change is notified, the app should do the following procedure by itself: - finish jobs, close handles - reset the config - restart jobs Anyway, the implementation of such a callback is almost independent from the rest of alsa-lib code. It would simply invoke inotify with a set of config file names. So, even an API returning a set of config file names should suffice in theory...
