I would like to ask about size of period, buffer.
In my environment, each data size are follows.
runtime->buffer_size = 8192
runtime->period_size = 2048
runtime->periods = 4
buffer_len = frames_to_bytes(runtime, runtime->buffer_size) = 32768
period_len = frames_to_bytes(runtime, runtime->period_size) = 8192
After sending period_len byte (=8192 byte = 2048 frame)
I call snd_pcm_period_esapsed().
after that snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_interrupt() is called.
Is this correct ?
Then, runtime->hw_ptr_base will be updated In this function.
How is this hw_ptr_base renewed ?
My stupid driver return -EPIPE on snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_post
So, I added following stupid debug printk
-----------------------------------------------------

underrun!!! (at least 0.000 ms long) <== underrun
-----------------------------------------------------
I think hw_prt_base mean "frame", not "byte".
Because pointer function return value use bytes_to_frames(),
and that value is used to new_hw_prt.
Is it correct ?
why hw_prt_base update size is 8192 = buffer_size ?
please check hw_prt near <== **.
----------------------
hw_prt_base = 0, hw_prt = 1856
hw_prt_base = 0, hw_prt = 1984
hw_prt_base = 8192, hw_prt = 8256 <== **
hw_prt_base = 8192, hw_prt = 8192
----------------------
I can uderstand if update size is 2048 = period_size.
Is my understanding wrong ??
my kernel is between 2.6.30 and 2.6.31-rc1
Best regards
