Re: [alsa-devel] snd_pcm_avail() and snd_pcm_avail_update() always returns buffer_size

----- Original Message -----

I'm debugging an issue where both snd_pcm_avail_update() and snd_pcm_avail() are always returning buffer_size, even after successfully calling snd_pcm_writei() repeatedly.

This is causing problems when I first start playback. My goal was to fill up the playback buffer until it's almost full when first starting, and then enter my regular playback loop where I write period_size at a time.

Replying to my own thread here:

I looked into this more closely again today, and found an unrelated bug in my application causing the strange behavior I was observing. It turned out that ALSA was behaving exactly as expected for what was going on.

Thanks,

Nate
