[alsa-devel] [alsa-utils][RESEND][PATCH] Add support for no-rewind flag in aplay utility

[Sriram Periyasamy]

From: Ramesh Babu <ramesh.babu at intel.com>

The "no-rewind" flag is introduced in alsa.
Application can use this flag to assure kernel driver
that rewind won't be exercised. Driver could use this
flag to alter it's buffering scheme to optimize power
and performance.
