[Discuss-gnuradio] default alsa value with pulseaudio

[Unknown]

hi,

When using gnuradio with the default values [1] , the sound is
fragmented when played with pulseaudio .

Using the alsa device by name is acceptable, this not a best practice
[2]

        multimode.py --ahw=hw:3,0


Changing the nperiods from 4 to 25 solves the issue and gnuradio play
nicely with pulseaudio


        [audio_alsa]

        default_input_device = default
        default_output_device = default
        period_time = 0.010
        nperiods = 25  # 4 is too low for pulsaudio hook
        verbose = false



I did not find any information about this issue or if this is related to
the value of min_nperiods, max_nperiods [3] with pulseaudio , those
values are not printed out . 

is there a way to get a verbose output without recompiling from
source ? 


thanks in advance
