Description Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2005-11-23 16:52:07 UTC 
When you go to paused for alsasink the contents of the current buffers will be
sent before actually stopping which with default values [of playbin] will result
in 150-200ms before actually stopping playback.

Wim, assigning to you, since you're hacking on audiosinks atm
Comment 2 Wim Taymans 2006-02-13 10:03:28 UTC 
additional note: no solution possible for dmix.
Comment 3 Jan Schmidt 2006-03-20 15:53:51 UTC 
We should probably close this unless someone wants to talk to alsa dudes about the dmix case. The audiosinks in GStreamer already do as good a job as they can, I believe.
Comment 4 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2006-03-20 17:26:24 UTC 
Jan: I'd like to keep the bug open until a solution can be found. It's not magically going away just because it depends on a fix upstream.

This bug lacks a little bit of technical information. 
Why is it not possible without modifications in alsa itself?
Has anyone tried to contact the alsa developers? I can contact them, but I'd need a better, more detailed description of what's needed.
Comment 5 Wim Taymans 2006-03-20 18:32:15 UTC 
snd_pcm_drop() does not drop the samples in my dmix. This makes it very hard to program something that drops samples immediatly. hw:0 drops fine though.
Comment 6 Jan Schmidt 2006-05-06 21:44:56 UTC 
Johan, did you contact ALSA about this?
Comment 7 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2006-05-06 21:54:50 UTC 
No :-(

Been too busy lately. Haven't had time to do anything gstreamer related.
It would probably be better if someone knowing all the issues would contact them, I'm unfortunately utterly clueless when it comes to ALSA...
