I've used to think that low-latency processing would need accurate DMA pointer (op mode == element) while mp3 playback would need low power consumption (op mode == threshold). Peter: what's the status today how well can we do low-latency processing with threshold mode? IRCC, with your FIFO delay query patches, can we estimate the DMA pointer position with enough accuracy? -- Jarkko _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
