I already did that. That being said, the entire notify vs. wq is pretty racy. So I was thinking that maybe we could just eliminate the wq and do whatever is needed directly from the notify hook. And then we could eliminate the (ab)use of pdata to transfer the ELD and whatnot between the drivers. I guess the main complication is the driver load case. I didn't really think that one through so far. -- Ville Syrjälä Intel OTC _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
