[alsa-devel] ultra small alsa library
hi all,
i try to run a creative extigy via the usb port on a nslu2. the nslu2 is a arm-based (xscale) mini-server with 32mb of ram and so very resource limited if you let services run on it. when i now attach the extigy and play some random stuff - doesn't matter which player - the sound is very intermittent and not recognizable. i think this is due to massive swapping somewhere. what are the minimum prerequisites for using s-alsa (esp. kernel!)? with 2.6.24 and debian i got segfaults.
thank you, marco

Hello Marco,
I'll leave others for the prerequisites.
But I can tell you I run alsa on a little smartphone with 64MBytes of memory, with a graphical application taking 25MBytes at its start. I have no problems so far running alsa to play songs / use my phone.
My hardware setup (mio a701 smartphone) : - RAM: 64 MB - CPU: XScale PXA272 - Storage : SD card - Swap: none (poor SD card otherwise)
Sofware setup : - Base stolen from OPIE 4.3.1 - custom fixes for the smartphone, nothing related to alsa
I hope that cheers you a bit about your configuration.
