So I've been doing some more testing and I think this must be a timer issue. The logic is that when I record my voice, the timing looks strange - a 10 second recording will be shown as 5 seconds (and played back that way). Can anyone point me towards a good explanation of ALSA timers and how to configure them? I have been looking around but can't find one. 2009/2/19 David Hugh-Jones <davidhughjones@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hello all > > I've been trying to fix this for months on and off and have had no > luck.
