Native Development

Hello all. I am trying to develop my BB10 (and OS 2.0) app for Blackberry Playbook, but I am having some issues with audio input.

The main issue is that I would like to setup a 512 16bit samples buffer and read it every Xms at 48KHz, but when I am trying to set up the PCM mixer like this:

// get pcm info
	memset(&pi, 0, sizeof(pi));
	pi.channel = SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE;
	if ((rtn = snd_pcm_plugin_info(pcm_handle, &pi)) < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "snd_pcm_plugin_info failed: %s\n", snd_strerror(rtn));
		return -1;
	}

	// setup pcm channel
	memset(&pp, 0, sizeof(pp));
	pp.mode = SND_PCM_MODE_BLOCK;
	pp.channel = SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE;
	pp.start_mode = SND_PCM_START_DATA; //SND_PCM_START_FULL;
	pp.stop_mode = SND_PCM_STOP_ROLLOVER; //SND_PCM_STOP_STOP;

	pp.buf.block.frag_size = 2048; //bufferSize; // Trying to set it to 512
	


	pp.buf.block.frags_max = 1; //-1; //num_frags;
	pp.buf.block.frags_min = 1;



	pp.format.interleave = 1;
	pp.format.rate = sampleRate;
	pp.format.voices = inChannels;
	pp.format.format = SND_PCM_SFMT_S16_LE; // Signed 16-bit Little Endian

	strcpy(pp.sw_mixer_subchn_name, "Wave capture channel");
	if ((rtn = snd_pcm_plugin_params(pcm_handle, &pp)) < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "snd_pcm_plugin_params failed: %s\n",
				snd_strerror(rtn));
		return -1;
	}

	if ((rtn = snd_pcm_plugin_prepare(pcm_handle, SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE))
			< 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "snd_pcm_plugin_prepare failed: %s\n",
				snd_strerror(rtn));
		return -1;
	}

	// Check setup
	memset(&setup, 0, sizeof(setup));
	memset(&group, 0, sizeof(group));
	setup.channel = SND_PCM_CHANNEL_CAPTURE;
	setup.mixer_gid = &group.gid;

	if ((rtn = snd_pcm_plugin_setup(pcm_handle, &setup)) < 0) {
		fprintf(stderr, "snd_pcm_plugin_setup failed: %s\n", snd_strerror(rtn));
		return -1;
	}

	fprintf(stderr, "Format %s \n",
			snd_pcm_get_format_name(setup.format.format));
	fprintf(stderr, "Frag Size %d \n", setup.buf.block.frag_size);
	fprintf(stderr, "Total Frags: %d \n", setup.buf.block.frags);
	fprintf(stderr, "Rate %d \n", setup.format.rate);

	bsize = setup.buf.block.frag_size;

 I get the following output:

Audio Example
Requested format: Signed 16-bit Little Endian
Requested sample rate: 48000
Requested buffer size: 512
Requested output channels: 2

Requested input channels: 2

Format Signed 16-bit Little Endian 
Frag Size 1920 
Total Frags: 3 
Rate 48000 
in_buffer size: 3840

I do not understand why if I am setting a 2048 frag_size and pp.buf.block.frags_max = 1, I get:

 Frag Size=1920

Total Frags: 3 

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you

Anyone?
