Hi!

What's the status of snd_pcm_rewind()? Is it available on all devices?

It should work on all "hw" PCM, but not via every plugin. The functionality is basically in the PCM core level, independent from the lowlevel driver implementation.

dmix and dshare don't work (unimplemented). The other plugins should work, though.

I assume not (at least dmix doesn't...). But I guess I can safely assume it is available when mmap is used? Is there any API function to test if it is available?

No, unfortunately. A self-test?
