alsa-project/alsa-lib pull request #370 was opened from z-s-e: This is based on my understanding of the intended behavior and the test/pcm.c example code. There needs to be more clarifiaction regarding the exact semantics of the value of the revents output parameter of snd_pcm_poll_descriptors_revents, since there are events that do not necessarily correspond to POLLIN or POLLOUT (such as period events), but I believe this is a lot less obvious and needs confirmation first.
