Subject: Sound card word clocks.
Date: Tue, 03 Jan 2006 23:45:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43BB0C9F.5050002@superbug.demon.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be useful to let alsa-lib
1) read sound card word clocks. Do all sound cards have word clock 
registers? I know all Creative ones do.

2) set timer period interrupts based on the sound card's word clock.
This could make a call back similar to periods_elapsed(), which happens 
when a period interrupt happens.

They could possibly be used for a better alsa-lib resampler.

Another possible alternative could be a form of nanosleep() that auto 
repeats. I.e. the kernel causes a user-land callback every X 
nanoseconds. Does one exist in the kernel?
I think a wordclock based callback would probably be more in sync with 
the sound card than a nanosleep() one.

James
