[alsa-devel] snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near: invalid argument

[Jean-Yves Avenard]

Hi there.

I'm a bit puzzled as to what values are considered valids and which
one aren't when it comes to setting the buffer time with
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near.

For example setting a value of 295ms : all ok. From 300ms to 450ms ->
"Invalid argument".
but 500ms for example is okay.

What's the logic behind it ?
It's obviously related to the sampling rate, the audio format and the
number of channels ; as the values giving me "Invalid argument" change
then.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
