Re: Broken Pipe with SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_WRITEI_FRAMES

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've update my loop to:

struct

snd_xferi

transfer

=

{};
  transfer.buf = (u8 *)buffer;
  transfer.frames = num_base_samples;

int

res = ioctl(fd, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_WRITEI_FRAMES, &transfer);

if

(res == -EPIPE) {
    ioctl(fd, SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE);

This removes the Broken Pipe, however no sound is heard.
