[alsa-devel] Exemple of source code for capture without using callback

Tanks for your answer.

If I'm not wrong you're talking about playback in that case, isn't it?  
I'm considering capture so you mean that the good callback method is  
when the audio driver tells the application that it have new audio  
data (the buffer contains at least a "period_size" of audio samples)  
to give to it. Am I right?

Ok. But I cannot find a source code using poll() for capture on  
internet. Would you please gimme a pointer or at least a pseudo-code  
for an application using poll() i.e. just what is the sequence of the  
function?
Many thanks.
