Hi guys, I got my alsa player code to work. Now I need to figure out how to reset the audio device? I don't want to close the device, just recycle it. Any pointers? Also, where are the documents for all of those helper subroutes? Like snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_time, snd_pcm_hw_params_any, etc. Thanks for your time. -- William Estrada MrUmunhum@popdial.com Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ( http://Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ) Ymessenger: MrUmunhum
