Re: [alsa-devel] Possible problem with snd_pcm_oss_sync()

I'm working with a customer that has discovered a possible problem with OSS emulation. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience with OSS, so I need help understanding whether the customer's observations point to a real problem or not.

Update:

snd_pcm_oss_sync() displays this message:

sync: buffer_used

What does this mean? What does it mean to sync, and why would an OSS application call sync?
