Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to obtain the hardware playback position
after an underrun occured. When I have no underruns, I can simply keep
track of the time by counting the samples processed. (I am using
snd_pcm_mmap_commit). But in the unlucky event an underrun occurs, I
would like to know what the playback position would have been without
any underrun. Is this possible? I have been looking at the API docs,
and at the source code, but to no avail.
Thanks,
Maarten

In general, the driver doesn't give such information directly. When
an underrun happens, it depends on the hardware what happens at the
next. It might stop immediately, reset, or whatever.
The driver can take a timestamp at the time the underrun is detected,
at most. You can guess from this value.
Note that this doesn't guarantee the exact time, though. The
detection is usually done at the period boundary unless the hardware
generates the underrun event or the position callback casually detects
the underrun.
