Re: [alsa-devel] Using the timer

So you are saying that PCM slave timer can be used in some way, but it would be clocked at the sampling rate, right?

We get an interrupt at every period boundary, so the timer would run at, e.g., one 128th of the sampling rate.

Hm, so 'snd-seq-timer' is essentially hooked to the host cpu clock (be that TSC/RTC/HPET) ?

In the default setting, yes.
