Thanks. ASRC M2M case needs to run as fast as possible, no sync clock control. If use sound card to handle ASRC M2M case, the user application should be aplay/arecord, then we need to consider xrun issue, buffer may timeout, sync between aplay and arecord, these should't be considered by pure memory to memory operation. DPCM may achitect all the audio things in components and sound card, it is good. but for the M2M case, it is complcated. not sure it is doable. best regards wang shengjiu
