No, its not that simple. When the partially filled period on slave appears, it then gets populated back. Namely, snd_pcm_write_areas() takes it via snd_pcm_avail_update(). It then adjusts the "frames" accordingly, and then also "size" gets infected. Then the hack triggers. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
