I'll implement it soon if no one is against it. I added the new callbacks to CVS. The following two fields are added to snd_pcm_ioplug_callback_t: /** * poll descriptors count; optional */ int (*poll_descriptors_count)(snd_pcm_ioplug_t *io); /** * poll descriptors; optional */ int (*poll_descriptors)(snd_pcm_ioplug_t *io, struct pollfd *pfd, unsigned int space); If they are NULL, poll_fd is used as well as in the former version. This change breaks the compatibility with older versions. For the future compatibility, I added a new field to snd_pcm_ioplug_t. The first field of snd_pcm_ioplug_t is "version" now. This field must be filled by the caller with SND_PCM_IOPLUG_VERSION constant defined in pcm_ioplug.h. struct snd_pcm_ioplug { /** * protocol version; SND_PCM_IOPLUG_VERSION must be filled here * before calling #snd_pcm_ioplug_create() */ unsigned int version; /** * name of this plugin; must be filled before calling #snd_pcm_ioplug_create() */ const char *name; ... Could you change your driver to follow this? Any comments appreciated.
