Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: doc: Fix PCM interface section typos
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 16:55:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190829145512.3752-1-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com> (raw)
Fix two mistakes in the PCM interface section:
1/ Members of the snd_pcm_hardware structure are channels_{min,max}
and not channel_{min,max} (mind the 's').
2/ Another sentence is incomplete as the reference to one structure
member (period_bytes_max) is missing.
There is no relevant 'Fixes:' tag to apply as both typos predate the
Git era.

The “period” is a term that corresponds to a fragment in the OSS
