Re: [LAU] can jackd or ardour be forced to use interleaved mode?

It cannot be forced since it requires at least 2 parameters (offset and stride) the first of which may differ every cycle depending on where memory is mapped to. Relevant methods are snd_pcm_mmap_begin() [1] which provides the info and pointers in a snd_pcm_channel_area_t [2] struct. Ardour indeed tries SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_NONINTERLEAVED first and falls back to SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_INTERLEAVED (and SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_COMPLEX) if the former fail. One could add an option to override this configuration behavior, but that would only be useful for driver development/debugging. -- robin [1] https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/group___p_c_m___direct.html [2] https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/structsnd__pcm__channel__are…
