The initial 2-2.5sec silence is still there (on every > invocation of mplayer), but seeking now works as it should (previously > there was 2 sec silence too). Disabling codec pm doesn't help. OK, it's a slight improvement. Now the question is why it still happens at each invocation of mplayer. Assuming that it's no power-save, one possible explanation is the call of azx_stream_reset() in prepare. But, then this should happen at each seek, too. Could you put some printk's and check whether AC_VERB_SET_CHANNEL_STREAMID and/or AC_VERB_GET_STREAM_FORMAT verbs are executed at each time or properly cached? thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
