Some ALSA capture devices can have very large buffers, holding 10 seconds or more audio. Using the maximum buffer size with such devices leads to unacceptably large, and unnecessary, latency. Also, some ALSA drivers (e.g. HDA Intel PCH) report an invalid maximum period size, and the period size that mpd calculates from the maximum buffer size results in "Invalid argument" error when applying the hw_params. Note that the "default" capture device on many cards includes the "dsnoop" plugin which imposes a buffer size of 16384 frames, so that "alsa://" works OK but "alsa://plughw" or "alsa://hw" both fail. Limit the maximum buffer time for ALSA input devices to a more useable 2 seconds, thereby avoiding both the above problems. |
