Hi,

I am new to Alsa and I have been told that there is some kind of buffer/queue, in Alsa-loopback, that regulates when 'sound-buffers' is dropped.

What I would like to achieve is make the buffer/queue larger (500 ms).

From what I have heard is that it should be possible to configure the buffer/queue, in Alsa-loopback, via the /etc/asound.conf configuration file.

It seems that the parameters period_time, period_size, buffer_time, buffer_size & rate are important to achieve what I want. I haven't found any information on what these parameters do and how or if they are used in conjunction with each other.

Here is my asound.conf file:

# cat /etc/asound.conf pcm_slave.aloopcommon { pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0" ... rate 16000 period_time 64000 buffer_time 512000 }

pcm.!audiosource0 { type dsnoop ... slave aloopcommon ... }

Is there somewhere where these parameters are explained and how they interact?
