Pause a channel that's capturing

Synopsis:

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

int snd_pcm_capture_pause ( snd_pcm_t *pcm );

Arguments:

pcm
The handle for the PCM device, which you must have opened by calling snd_pcm_open_name(), snd_pcm_open(), or snd_pcm_open_preferred().

Library:

libasound.so

Use the -l asound option with qcc to link against this library.

Description:

The snd_pcm_capture_pause() function pauses a channel that's capturing. Unlike dropping or draining, this preserves all data that has not yet been received within the audio driver, to be retrieved after resuming.

Returns:

EOK on success, a negative errno upon failure. The errno values are available in the errno.h file.

Errors:

-ENOTSUP
Pause isn't supported on the PCM device that's referenced by the PCM handle (pcm).
