Hi all, please consider the following: Period size is 80 frames, buffer size is 320 frames. For all 3 tests I have 240 frames ready to read. snd_pcm_avail_update() confirms this. Outcome of my tests: 1) I want to read 80 frames, and get 80 frames. - OK, this is really basic. 2) I want to read 81 frames, and get 80 frames. - FAIL. 3) I want to read 80 frames, and get 80 frames. Then I read 1 frame, and get 1 frame. - HUH? I've both tested snd_pcm_readi() and snd_pcm_mmap_readi() - both have the same semantic. Is there any explanation for this kind of illogical behaviour (I have version 1.0.14, which might be a bit old, but still)? I should be able to read rather arbitrary amounts from a software buffer, don't I?
