Hi,
The DSP I am working with currently supports 24-bit PCM sample in 32-bit data space but with LSB padded. Based on the discussion I found on line, SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S24_LE is defined to be 24-bit PCM sample in 32-bit data space with MSB padded. Also, there is no format macro defined for the format which my DSP supports. Please correct me if I am wrong. Furthermore, which software layer in audio stack of a typical linux distribution such as ubuntu handles the padding. I don't think it's handled by the alsa library. Does application or pulseaudio handle the padding? I would think it's done in pulseaudio. I have not study pulseaudio codec extensively but would think someone on the mailing list can give a quick answer.
Thanks Patrick
