timestamps

[Joachim Reichelt]

Dear all,

is there any way in Linux to get the time of the creation of a file or 
better
can i get:

creation time (is NOT in stat)
modification time ( is in stat m_time)
access time ( is in stat a_time)
c_time in stat changes, whenever a_time or m_time or ... changes, so 
useless here.

How can I get the CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp for the first sample in the
data I get from snd_pcm_readi()?

before reading the data, take the current timestamp (with clock_gettime) 
and subtract snd_pcm_delay() for the stream (see the API docs for 
snd_pcm_delay() for more details).

The accuracy of the returned value depends on the driver/hw's ability to 
report accurate delay values.

PS Alternate strategy is to use SND_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP mode, in which
    you can query (with snd_pcm_htimestamp()) the timestamp of
    last period elapsed event. See the alsa-lib PCM API docs for
    details. With certain drivers/hw, this is the only way to get
    accurate estimates for delay.
