Pause and Resume testing needed

Pause and Resume testing needed

[James Courtier-Dutton]

Hello

Are there any test applications which test the pause/resume functionallity.

I have an app which is calling pause, then resume, but after resume, the 
sound is very choppy.

I was hoping that there was an application out there which already 
worked with pause/resume so I can narrow down the problem to alsa or my 
application.

Cheers
James

I found out what is wrong with my pausing problem. It is an alsa bug.

I have a SB Live.
pausing and resuming works fine in all modes except AC3 passthru.
If one paused an AC3 passthru stream, it becomes very jumpy.

there are quite a lot of audio interfaces that don't support
pause/resume. its of questionable worth to use it in an application,
since it will not work on cards without support for it. i generally
just stop the audio and restart it again (prepare/start) when i need
this type of thing. the difference is marginal.
