Is it possible for user-space to reduce configuration space with snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_minmax and then change it with another snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_minmax with values out of the reduced config?
For example, the initial min/max is 44100/48000 and I set 44100 first, e.g.
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_minmax(handle, hw_params, 44100, 0, 44100, 0)
and then want
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_minmax(handle, hw_params, 48000, 0, 48000, 0)
Obviously, the last call fails as we have already a reduced space of [44100; 44100].
Is there a way I can still set the range to [48000; 48000]?
Thank you, Oleksandr
P.S. This is in context of work done for [1]
We can't. Once shrinking available interval of a parameter, we cannot expand it again without initializing the parameter on memory object for 'struct snd_pcm_hw_params_t', in which actual layout is never disclosed to user applications.
So, this effectively means that this is a one way road, if you need to change some parameter you'll need to start all over, so the whole configuration space remains consistent :(
If you can initialize whole the parameters, snd_pcm_hw_params_any() is available for your purpose, then set min/max rate again.
This is what I do now but...
But just for one of the parameters, in my opinion, we need to open an internal API; snd_pcm_hw_param_any()[1].
IMO, this will lead to the false assumption that configuration is possible. For example, I set 4 channels and 44100, but then, after snd_pcm_hw_params_any, set 48000 and might assume that the configuration is still possible. But this may not be true: it is true for the configuration returned by snd_pcm_hw_param_any as we don't know about 4 channels yet. But might not be allowed if we want 4 channels and 48000 at the same time.

Thank you very much for explanation, Oleksandr
