bandwidth issue with usb-audio in alsa

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

 



Hi,

  My Platform
 -------------
  I am trying to stream audio data from a USB-device (an iPod) to my
arm-based embedded device (running kernel 2.6.23). The USB-device confirms
to usb digital audio (subclass - streaming) class. The endpoint buffer size
196 bytes and transfer period is 1 msec. So, I should be reading data every
msec.

  Problem
  -----------
  I am facing some bandwidth issues. The data is not being captured fast
enough.

  I notice that once one set of URBs are captured (one set equal to
MAX_URBS), there is a significant delay in capturing the next set of URBs. 

     I have set MAX_URBS equal to 32.
     When I connect a USB-Analyzer and analyze the timings, I can see that
32 URBs are captured at a interval of 1 msec each. After that there is a
break of around 250 msec. And then again 32 URBs captured in sequence.

      If I change the MAX_URBs to any other value N, N URBs get captured at
interval of 1 msec each, and then there is a break.

      Can some one suggest a way to improve this problem. Is there some
configuration or parameter which I can change, so that URBs get submitted
fast enough? May be as soon as the old one has retired.

Thanks and Regards,
Kunal
