[alsa-devel] No stream timing info with alsa pulse plugin?

[sqweek]

Hi guys,

I discovered on my machine that alsa_snd_pcm_status_get_tstamp (and
also get_htstamp) stop working when my asoundrc invokes the pulse
plugin.

That is, normally they work fine but once the sound is going via pulse
the returned time stamp is always zero. I'm trying to understand why
that is.

I couldn't really find any discussion of the pulse plugin on the
archives so I'm not entirely sure I've found the right list; I was
directed here via the pulseaudio bugzilla[1].

Thanks for any assistance!
