Hi group,

I have written my own ALSA recorder and player. Along with that I have several bugs. The bug I am working on right now is 'short writes' when I use the pipe command into my player. My player runs and asks for the file to play, so that I may play incoming files as they are sent in. I have a program that uses 'inotify' to watch for incoming file and then pipe the file name into my player.

Now with all of that, is there a API call that will put the writei into blocking mode? Or an API call that will flush the output from writei? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks for your time.
