Hi,

Please how is the module params pcm_notify supposed to be used, to do
what the documentation says: Break capture when PCM format/rate/channels
changes?

Breaking capture side operation when the playback side changes the
params is very useful, but I cannot find a way to use this param
properly. When the capture side is open, the playback side cannot use a
different parameter than the one currently used by the capture side (the
configuration space is limited)

Really? Then it's a bug introduced by the last changes.

If you look to sources:

       if (get_notify(dpcm))
                 runtime->hw = loopback_pcm_hardware;
         else
                 runtime->hw = cable->hw;

And:

       if (!(cable->valid & ~(1 << substream->stream)) ||
             (get_setup(dpcm)->notify &&
              substream->stream == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK))
                 params_change(substream);

So the functionality should be there.

I am using older kernels (4.15 and 3.16), but this is an old functionality.

modprobe snd-aloop pcm_substreams=1 pcm_notify=1,1


Please is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks a lot for your patience.

I can reproduce this. It appears that the driver should be fixed, but I don't have a solution at the moment.

It seems that 898dfe4687f460ba337a01c11549f87269a13fa2 from Takashi broke this functionality (tied the cable parameters more strictly, so the playback cannot set freely own parameters for the pcm_notify=1 case). We need to find another way to detach capture stream in this case.
