[alsa-devel] snd_pcm_sw_params_set_start_threshold() functionality

[irfanks]

Hello,

             snd_pcm_sw_params_set_start_threshold() API description 
explains, "PCM is automatically started when playback frames available 
to PCM are >= threshold"

              I want to know,  whether above pre-buffering(threshold) 
mechanism is only during the start of playback ?
OR
             Also if my playback device goes to XRUN state, Again next 
time when i prepare my playback device using snd_pcm_prepare(). Again 
the prebuffering (threshold) will occur since i have set 
snd_pcm_sw_params_set_start_threshold() to N periods in software params.


Best Regards,
Thanks in advance,
Irfan...
