Restrict a configuration space to settings without period wakeups.

Parameters

  pcm | PCM handle
  params | Configuration space
  val | 0 = disable, 1 = enable (default) period wakeup

Returns
  Zero on success, otherwise a negative error code.

This function must be called only on devices where non-blocking mode is enabled.

To check whether the hardware does support disabling period wakeups, call snd_pcm_hw_params_can_disable_period_wakeup(). If the hardware does not support this mode, standard period wakeups will be generated.

Even with disabled period wakeups, the period size/time/count parameters are valid; it is suggested to use snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_last().

When period wakeups are disabled, the application must not use any functions that could block on this device. The use of poll should be limited to error cases. The application needs to use an external event or a timer to check the state of the ring buffer and refill it apropriately.

Examples
  /test/latency.c.
