Dear

I'm trying to create my audio configuration using dmix or dshare plugins but i'm facing some issues.

Currently, if I don't use dmix or dshare, I'm able to specify the period_size using aplay and changes are populated to the hardware. However if I include a dmix/dshare plugin, I'm not able to configure the period_time anymore.

To configure dmix, one needs to specify this: slave { # Slave definition pcm STR # slave PCM name # or pcm { } # slave PCM definition format STR # format definition rate INT # rate definition channels INT period_time INT # in usec # or period_size INT # in frames buffer_time INT # in usec # or buffer_size INT # in frames periods INT # when buffer_size or buffer_time is not specified }

Is it possible in any way to avoid the need to specify buffer_size/periods/... and to avoid the system to fall back on defaults?

Kind regards Pieter Cardoen
