BTW, I have merged topic/dummy-hrtimer branch into sound git tree now. The standard alsa-driver-snapshot tarball below includes the patches, too. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
Takashi,
I've tested your last tarball all day long :-).
Turned out that the Skype client asks for a too much big buffer (or at least so it appears to me).
Modifying the MAX_BUFFER_SIZE to 1024 and the MAX_PERIOD_SIZE to 512 it runs smoothly and nice.
If this is true, I think it's rather a bug of Skype. But we cannot check it by the obvious reason :)
Would you mind to add those two as configurable parameters? That would allows for the direct usage of snd-dummy with the various kernels and Skype client without any source-code modifications, the ideal solution :-) .
I don't like adding too many module parameters. There are many other adjustable parameters in that struct, I simply added a proc interface to show and store the values now.
Try the latest alsa-driver-snapshot tarball. Note that the proc file is enabled only in the debug mode. With the external build, pass --with-debug=full configure option.
thanks,
Takashi
