[alsa-devel] need help with io plugin programming: how to add delay ?

[Alex Austin]

The simplest solution would probably be completely userspace. Write a jackd
client which connects to the UART, gives itself RT priority using
capabilities, and exposes however many input/output ports as you have.
Google FFADO for an example of the programming model used.

If you need normal apps to drive into it, set up an .asoundrc with a device
using the jack plugin. I still don't see why you need a kernel driver at
all.
