Re: [ecasound] alsa problems recording (but not oss)

Hi Kai,

thanks for your response.

Even with the -z:noxruns and -z:nodb and -z:intbuf set, using alsahw,0,0 (the only interface defined) causes huge xruns, and using /dev/dsp doesn't, although it does tend to lock up the machine for a while.

thanks,

Matt

The mechanisms used to read from an ALSA and OSS are almost identical performance-wise! :oMy guess would be that ecasound is triggering some bug in the ALSA driver for h2200. You could try recording with "-z:noxruns", and see if the output file is ok (maybe the xruns are falsely detected). You've probably already tried with "-z:nointbuf"...?If the same happened with both OSS and ALSA (but worked on arecord), thiswould be easier to explain (ecasound uses float math, arecord doesn't -> this can make a huge difference on devices without hw-based float math ...but, but, h2200
should have enough horse power to do some simple operations even in float).-- links, my public keys, etc at http://eca.cx/kv
