Hi!
I got my hopes up when I read the commit message for c14e2591bf54 ASoC: atmel-pcm-dma: increase buffer_bytes_max. Quoting it:
atmel-pcm-dma is not limited to a buffer size of 64kB like atmel-pcm-pdc. Increase buffer_bytes_max to 512kB to allow for higher bit rates (i.e. 32bps at 192kHz) to work correctly. By default, keep the prealloc at 64kB.
However, as I (think I) request a bigger buffer it still caps out at 64kB. I'm using the latency argument of snd_pcm_set_params to control the buffer:
snd_pcm_set_params(pcm, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S32_LE, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED, 2, /* channels */ 250000, /* rate */ 0, /* do not resample */ 90000); /* latency in us */
But snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size "only" returns 8192 frames (64kB) even if I request 9us * 250kHz * 2 * 4 = 180kB. If I change the prealloc
Bzzzt, s/9us/90ms/
from 64kB to 256kB I get a bigger buffer (and it works better too!).
Admittedly I backported this patch on top of the linux-3.18-at91 branch from the Atmel git repo, so there might be some support missing that has gone in after 3.18?
Or have I completely misunderstood, and these are unrelated buffers?
Any insight in how I can get a big enough buffer without hacking the prealloc is appreciated!
Cheers, Peter
