Call snd_pcm_avail(). The granlarity of its return value is device
specific; e.g., chips like Emu10k1 or DS-1 move data in blocks of 256
or 512 samples, and USB uses 1-ms frames. You are not guaranteed to
get a result that is more recent than the last period boundary,
although most devices can do better.
Best regards,
Clemens
