So when/where does ALSA copy data to the DMA buffer? Isn't there supposed to be some kind of callback where ALSA calls the driver and says, "here's some data, please copy it to your DMA buffer?" Or does ALSA do all the copying itself whenever the driver calls snd_pcm_period_elapsed()? -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
