[alsa-devel] ALSA buffer query

[Irfan Shaikh]

Hello All,


      1) My understanding :  snd_pcm_writei() takes the allocated buffer from applications and passes the buffer beneath to the ASLA library and then to the ALSA driver for rendering Audio.

      2) Query 1 : Instead of me allocating the buffer in ALSA application and passing the pointer in snd_pcm_writei, Can ALSA allocate the buffer and give to my application, so that i can copy my data into it.

      3) Query 2 : Is there any wayto diirectly get hardware ALSA buffer from the ALSA driver to application so that i can copy PCM data to this buffer directly.
                          If not, is there any way can we do this ?



Thanks in Advance !

Regards
Irfan
