Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 3/3] ASoC: omap-mcbsp: make minimum period size larger than FIFO

note that this will only show problems on OMAP3 McBSP2 due to it's long FIFO.

There's something else here since: aplay -D hw:0 -fs16_le -c2 --period-size=320 --buffer-size=972 \ --start-delay=81000 -v /dev/urandom

Works correctly, however aplay -D hw:0 -fs16_le -c2 --period-size=324 --buffer-size=972 \ --start-delay=81000 -v /dev/urandom

produces underruns. In both cases the start_threshold is set to 648 (640 is the FIFO McBSP2 size). Both should be fine, but period_size=324 underruns.

So the issue is not that simple as it seams...
