[Gwc-general] Playback problem under ALSA

[James T. <ja...@ta...>]

I've been getting back into some audio processing again (after a long
layoff). Using gwc 0.20-03, built with ALSA support, very often on
playback the playback stops and I get endless repetitions of:

##########################################################
audio_device_processed_bytes: snd_pcm_delay
Broken pipe
##########################################################
audio_device_nonblocking_write_buffer_size: snd_pcm_avail_update
Broken pipe

The occurences seem to be pretty much random. Stopping playback stops the
errors and the naxt attempt may or may not be successful.  FWIW I'm
running kernel 2.6.4,and recording to a SATA disk.

I'm not sure if there is a problem in my setup, whether an error code
needs clearing or whether ALSA works on the principle of once it's fouled
up its fouled up.
