[alsa-devel] Any standard ALSA application for simultaneous capture and playabck ?????

I have a single threaded ALSA application which does simultaneous
capture and playback. But i am getting overflow error XRUN from
capture side.
I am attaching the code to this mail.
Is there any problem with single threaded approach?
Is there any global configuration for ALSA lib?
When i run this app, ALSA state is getting corrupted, even aplay and
arecord is not working properly after that.
Any comments on this issue?
Thanks in advance
