[alsa-devel] snd_pcm_hardware structure

[Adish Kuvelker]

so I am thinking of sound hardware generating an interrupt at the FIFO
having 32-bytes.
In your first reply did you mean that periods_min = periods_max =1
would be the setting correponding to my hardware initializations to
generate an interrupt after 16 16-bit samples having been transferred?
So considering that the FIFO bank is of 64 bytes, what do you think
would be the setting for periods_min and periods_max?
