Error in configuring playback device

Error in configuring playback device

[Irfan Shaikh]

Hello all

Problem :

1)   I have an playback thread which i am closing and creating based on certain conditions
      Some times the my thread does not exit grace fully due to which my snd_pcm_close() does not gets executed.

2) Next time when i create thread i get error in configuring playback device

My idea to solve above problem :

         Can i alwayse close the device handle before opening it if pointer to playback handle exists
For eg :

if(playback_handle)
      snd_pcm_close(playback_handle);
snd_pcm_open(playback_handle);


Please suugest me some better method to solve the problem.

Regards

This will work, as long as you ensure that playback_handle is always set
to NULL when the device is actually closed.

playback_handle gets initialized to NULL.
Therefore snd_pcm_close() does not gets executed in if condition
My snd_pcm_open() always fails for first time even if i reset my hardware.

Please provide me some hint so that i can over come the above issue
