[vlc-devel] Alsa buffer duration. Invalid argument.

[Peter Tap]

Rémi,


I did a comparison for alsa.c between 2.0.3 and 2.0.4. They were identical. I also did a comparison between my ./configure flags and the ones that were used to build the packaged version of 2.0.3. They are identical. 

I also searched the Internet. There was a similar problem in alsa.c for which a patch was submitted. Here is the link: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-commits/2012-March/013374.html. However, I didn't find this patch code either in 2.0.3 version or in 2.0.4 version of alsa.c.

I commented out the call to "snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near" in alsa.c. That fixed my problem. But there must be a better solution.

Any help would be appreciated in understanding where else to look for a possible code difference.

Regards,
Peter

You know, you have all the data, and nobody else here does. In particular,
you have the source code and history for both versions and you have the
hardware that exhibits the problem. That should be all you need to figure
out what the differences comes from. Nobody else can.
