This commit does not change the behaviour. It only seperates the jiffies timer specific implementation from the generic part.

From: Timo Wischer twischer@de.adit-jv.com

to do synchronous audio forwarding between hardware sound card and aloop devices. Such an audio route could look like the following: Sound card -> Loopback application -> ALSA loop device -> arecord

In this case the loopback device should use the sound timer of the sound card. Without this patch the loopback application has to implement an adaptive sample rate converter to align the different clocks of the different ALSA devices.

The used sound card can be selected when loading the module: $ modprobe snd_aloop enable=1 timer_source=[card] [card] can be replaced by the name of the sound card (e.g. I82801AAICH) or a card number (e.g. 0).
