Hello. I'd like to ask how to completely stop playback using alsa synth. Basically my program initialized output in the following way: snd_seq_open() snd_seq_set_client_name() snd_seq_client_id() snd_seq_parse_address() snd_seq_create_simple_port() snd_seq_connect_to() snd_seq_alloc_named_queue() Then I create a new thread that processes events. It sets tempo and in infinite loop it does: snd_seq_ev_set_fixed() snd_seq_event_output() This all is based on aplaymidi code. How can I asynchronously immediately stop all the playback? Basicaly it requires breaking snd_seq_event_output() thats locked on my thread. I tried everything I could come up with. I know very little about alsa synth programming and basically thats the only thing i need to do now. Tried: snd_seq_ev_set_queue_stop() snd_seq_stop_queue() snd_seq_remove_events() or even closing the seq completely to reopen it on another file playback with: snd_seq_stop_queue() snd_seq_disconnect_to() snd_seq_delete_simple_port() snd_seq_close() All failed, results were very various. I simply run out of ideas. It doesn't matter if the method would require to close seq or not. I just need to stop the playback so i can gracefully stop the thread and play another file (with eventual reopening ports/seq). Would appreciate any help. -- Regards Havner {jid,mail}:havner(at)pld-linux.org "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
