[pulseaudio-discuss] Effects of avail_min in ALSA kernel stack

[jassi brar]

Hi,
    I recently submitted two patches for ALSA kernel stack that
will guarantee wake_ups to happen at each periodic interrupt.
Currently that is not the case when avail_min is greater than
period size.

 The patch doesn't seem to cause regression but might break
applications that depend on non-standard use of ALSA API.

Takashi Iwai noted that PulseAudio might complain about the change
(not that PulseAudio use non-standard methods).

Could someone please confirm if the two patches might cause regression
for PulseAudio? Here are the links..
