[alsa-devel] about ioctl calls

Hi folks,

I have a program that constantly make ioctl calls like this:

ioctl(4, 0x4122, 0x8b703)
ioctl(4, 0x4122, 0xbfb65768)

I suspect that this call pertains to ALSA, since I have straced other
programs that play music and they always use in the ioctl request field the
0x4122 code.
I am interested on finding out what's in the third argument of the ioctl
call,
is it a sort of struct that contains the audio samples ?

Thanks in advance,
