But cannot reproduce your problem using the "pause" function of aplay which sound card are you using and did you change the pulseaudlo daemon.conf ? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
