[alsa-devel] Timer interface

[Nenad Sljivic]

Takashi,

Thanks for your help. My timer device has not been created at the correct
path (/dev/snd), so I thought it was missing and that I need to implement
it.

The timer interface is always present with ALSA (kernel) PCM
interface, thus normally you don't have to implement it.
Or are you trying to implement without the normal kernel driver but
with alsa-lib ioplug or such?
