This might be almost equivalent to the timer approach in terms of # of wakeups, however the timer can be reprogrammed on-the-fly whereas periods can only be changed by closing and reopening the device. You can also adjust the timer shall underflows occur. And the timer slack lets the kernel group events. Not to mention that you will need
The timer is also useful for allowing PulseAudio to dynamically adjust the period size as the runtime situation changes - if you're running high latency streams and have a low latency application start up then PulseAudio can just change the timer to get more frequent events.
how low latency can PA provide ?
any tool to measure the latency ?
seem alsa-lib/test/latency did not work on pulse device
