That could perfectly be the case. But that isn't really a 64bit system thing, is it? I admit there is most likely something wrong with the app as it is now :-( The thing is that we can't guarantee that there are always audio frames in the buffer since we get it as a stream from somewhere else and need to do A/V sync. Currently we just snd_pcm_start() and only afterwards write to the buffer as the data comes in what as I understood now is not the way it's gonna work? I've tried to set a sensible start_threshold and just leave out the snd_pcm_start() but that created a very distorted sound output (but no broken pipe indeed).
