[alsa-devel] snd_pcm_info_alloca ( ptr) allocate an INVALID snd_pcm_info_t

Hi all!

Mates, I was looking for a reasonable explanation on why the functions *_alloca as snd_pcm_info_alloca allocates an INVALID snd_pcm_info_t??

At my point of view this function reserves memory for the allocation of snd_pcm_info_t and so it is a real space reservation.

I don't want get a wrong understanding and as long as there is no information regarding this, I am here asking!

Thanks in advanced!
