I confirm that the Skype client works well if I put (writing to the proc file, without modifying the driver source): buffer_bytes_max=1024 and period_bytes_max=512, and that it works bad if I do not write on the /proc file. It would be very very very nice if you add this proc interface (or another method to alter those buffer and period values) also to the non-debug build, so users can be able to use the standard distributed prepackaged ALSA drivers, without resorting to editing source or recompiling. BTW: Would you mind to bump the MAX_PCM_SUBSTREAMS to 128? Currently is 16, and is a cap to the substreams actually created, by a configurable param default to 8. (people use routinely 20 concurrent Skype clients, 40 substreams. But there is juice in modern servers to have some more. 64 seems roomy enough [Skype client itself uses lot of cpu]). Thanks for all your efforts, -giovanni _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
