[alsa-devel] Errors in application building

[Paul Kavan]

Hello All:

Okay, I have progressed past the segfault issue. Definitely was the lack of
-lpthread in the compile. Now I have the code in place to do a simple
read/write operation to ensure I can make the application capture and play
audio. I copied some example code and am trying to get it to work. I can
scope my pcm interface and it appears to be working, but no audio as of yet.
I am not sure how ALSA is dealing with the audio buffer, so it may be a
fundamental problem with that. It may also be the way I am setting the
parameters. Both arecord and aplay work just fine, so I do not believe it is
a hardware or driver issue.

For clarity, I am using ALSA 1.0.14a with an ARM9 processor using the SoC
driver package and a custom machine/codec driver for an at91sam9260ek dev
board and winbond w6811 codec. It is a simple pcm, mono, 8k codec. My params
are:

Access Type: SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED
Sample Format: SND_PCM_FORMAT_S8
Sample Rate: 8000
Channel Count: 1

My code is attached. Through gdb I get the following:
