Couldn't find your patch, no bug #839. > PulseAudio has another routine: pa_alsa_pcm_is_hw, this could also be > used but it would prevent rewinds for iec958 as well... Oh, pa_alsa_pcm_is_hw seems useful. Currently it's only used for disabling tsched. I guess even with tsched disabled, pulseaudio still tries to do rewinding - I think it would make sense to set max rewind to zero if pa_alsa_pcm_is_hw returns false. You apparently didn't look hard enough for the ticket :) It was closed for a while, but I reopened it today. Here's the url: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/839 -- Tanu Kaskinen
