[alsa-devel] runtime->boundary

Hi,

Can anyone help explain what is runtime->boundary and what is the value that is set for this? It seems to be a pretty huge value when I try and print it.

Also in snd_pcm_indiret_capture_transfer, I see this code snippet;

If (diff < runtime->boundary /2) diff += runtime->boundary

what is the reason for the same? If its for handling ring buffer wrapping, should I be setting my runtime->boundary to rumtime->buffer_size in the driver code?

Thanks, Harsha
