Description:

The snd_pcm_channel_status_t structure describes the status of a PCM channel. The members include:

channel

The channel direction; one of SND_PCM_CHANNEL_PLAYBACK or SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE.

mode

The transfer mode: SND_PCM_MODE_BLOCK. (SND_PCM_MODE_STREAM is deprecated.)

status

The channel status. Valid values are:

• SND_PCM_STATUS_NOTREADY — the driver isn't prepared for any operation. After a successful call to snd_pcm_channel_params() , the state is changed to SND_PCM_STATUS_READY.
• SND_PCM_STATUS_READY — the driver is ready for operation. You can mmap() the audio buffer only in this state, but the samples still can't be transferred. After a successful call to snd_pcm_channel_prepare() , snd_pcm_capture_prepare() , snd_pcm_playback_prepare() , or snd_pcm_plugin_prepare() , the state is changed to SND_PCM_STATUS_PREPARED.
• SND_PCM_STATUS_PREPARED — the driver is prepared for operation. The samples may be transferred in this state.
• SND_PCM_STATUS_RUNNING — the driver is actively transferring data through the hardware. The samples may be transferred in this state.
• SND_PCM_STATUS_UNDERRUN — the playback channel is in an underrun state. The driver completely drained the buffers before new data was ready to be played. You must reprepare the channel before continuing, by calling snd_pcm_channel_prepare() , snd_pcm_playback_prepare() , or snd_pcm_plugin_prepare() .
• SND_PCM_STATUS_OVERRUN — the capture channel is in an overrun state. The driver has processed the incoming data faster than it's coming in; the channel is stalled. You must reprepare the channel before continuing, by calling snd_pcm_channel_prepare() , snd_pcm_capture_prepare() , or snd_pcm_plugin_prepare() .
• SND_PCM_STATUS_PAUSED — the playback is paused (not supported by QSA).

scount

The number of bytes processed since the playback/capture last started. This value is clipped when it reaches the SND_PCM_BOUNDARY value, and is reset when you prepare the channel.

stime

The playback/capture start time, in the format used by gettimeofday().

This member is valid only when the time flags is active in the snd_pcm_channel_params_t , structure.

ust_stime

The playback/capture start time, in UST format. This member is valid only when the ust_time flags is active in the snd_pcm_channel_params_t , structure.

frag

The current fragment number (available only in the block mode).

count

The number of bytes in the queue/buffer; see the note below.

free

The number of bytes in the queue that are still free; see the note below.

underrun

The number of playback underruns since the last status.

overrun

The number of capture overruns since the last status.

overrange

The number of ADC capture overrange detections since the last status.

subbuffered

The number of bytes subbuffered in the plugin interface.
