[alsa-devel] Questions regarding workaround for VMware

Takashi I came across a workaround for VMware in ALSA kernel code http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=...

Thanks for the fix.

In the comments you mention about inaccurate timer source. Could you elaborate on the problem?

As of now we see that sound apps running in Fedora 11 guest OS with kernel 2.6.29.4-167 don't make any progress and can hang window manager like Metacity.

VMware virtualizes Ensoniq ES1371 sound device.

Is there something specific you would like us to fix in our virtual sound device or timer source?

Thanks, Bankim.
