Yes, but only if have disabled stop-on-underrun (by setting the stop_threshold to the boundary value). > the writei() call returns 2080.

The XRUN state can indicate either an underrun or some other error that makes the stream stop. What exactly that some other error could be depends on the driver. > I call snd_pcm_recover() and then snd_pcm_avail() again and now I get > 4126 frames. > > As you can see the time between these two logs is less than > 1 millisecond, so I don’t understand how the PCM can go from > 2080 frames available to >4096 frames available so quickly. This sounds like a bug. Which version of alsa-lib are you using?
