Re: What recommended performance for ALSA(ASoC)?

Thanks for your reply.
Your advises are very important information for me. Because explained your
target system is very similar my target system.

Following debugging tips are very helpful.
I have questions about debugging tips.

What is your ALSA driver setting that buffer bytes, period bytes, periods?
Current my driver setting values are buffer bytes(4KBytes), period
bytes(2KBytes), periods(2).

>Check the correct re-initilization of "period" once the buffer is full.

What does meannig? I don't understand.
And what is proper function for checking buffer and period?
prepare,trigger,irq handler, pointer...

44.1K 16bit stereo. Or else read from NFSBOOT if your SOC support Ethernet.

Tell me recommended music for audio test.


Thanks.
