OK, I see. I checked existing DT, and default synchronous <-> asynchronous exchange seems no problem. So, synchronous will be default in v2 _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
