Hello Experts, I got the attached log when running PulseAudio 0.9.22 in glitch free mode. But then I see the following logs in the trace!! I: source.c: Created source 0 "alsa_output.hw_0.monitor" with sample spec s16le 2ch 44100Hz and channel map front-left,front-right I: source.c: device.description = "Monitor of TI81XX EVM" I: source.c: device.class = "monitor" I: source.c: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" I: alsa-sink.c: Using 16.0 fragments of size 8192 bytes (46.44ms), buffer size is 131072 bytes (743.04ms) I: alsa-sink.c: Time scheduling watermark is 20.00ms D: alsa-sink.c: hwbuf_unused=0 D: alsa-sink.c: setting avail_min=31886 D: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_dump(): My understanding was that when glitch free mode is enabled the NFRAGS of alsa hardware is reduced to minimum in order to reduce the IRQ's. But as seen from the logs the NFRAGS is at pretty high value of 16. Is this behaviour OK?? Is there something I need to do extra? -Rgds Vallabha -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
