Hello, please, I've just found that my software refuses to work with Pulse Audio through ALSA because the Pulse Audio ALSA module refuses to let me call snd_pcm_hw_params when alsa state is PREPARED. (In practice, I can only call snd_pcm_hw_params once for every connection to ALSA and subsequent calls will fail). This behavior has also been partly described here: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2007-October/003740.html However, as Takashi Iwai describes in his reply to the above email, this is not a correct behavior. ALSA API Reference doesn't mention that snd_pcm_hw_params could not be called while in state PREPARED. Please, am I correct that this is a bug or am I missing something? Is anybody working on it? Is there some workaround except for closing and openning ALSA connection each time I need to change the parameters (which I trully don't want to do)? Thank you, Hynek Hanke
