Hello all

At setup time, when we create alsa handle and get the pcm_status object from it.

/******************************/ snd_pcm_status *status; snd_pcm_status_alloca(&status); At run time: snd_timestamp_t timestamp = {0}; snd_pcm_status(pcm_handle, status); snd_pcm_status_get_tstamp(status, &timestamp); print timestamp.tv_sec and timestamp.tv_usec /******************************/

Here when we start first instance, timestamp.tv_sec goes incrementing as we play as expected. But we when shutdown (destroy alsa handle, re-init) , the timestamps increase from the same point. i.e if we stopped playback at time x secs, the next instance starts showing the time from x secs. The time reported by snd_pcm_status_get_tstamp() resets after we reboot the board.

Another observation is that when we have two instances. We start the first instance , pause it after x secs. And then start the next instance, the time given by ALSA again starts at x secs.

I think the snd_pcm_get_tstamp should be handle based but it seems it's not the case.

How can we reset the timestamp values ?

Regards
