Hi,

There was some talk some time ago of maybe moving alsa to a streams
approach instead of ring buffer and periods approach.
Has anything become of this?
Is there a plan to improve the abstraction between hardware and user
space regarding constraints on period sizes when doing sample rate
conversion?

Kind Regards

James
