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,
