snd_pcm_close()

Close a PCM handle and free its resources

Synopsis:

#include <sys/asoundlib.h>

int snd_pcm_close( snd_pcm_t *handle );

handle: 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().

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

The snd_pcm_close() function frees all resources allocated with the audio handle and closes the connection to the PCM interface.

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

-EINTR: The close() call was interrupted by a signal.
-EINVAL: The state of handle is invalid or an invalid state change occurred. You can call snd_pcm_channel_status() to check if the state change was invalid.
-EIO: An I/O error occurred while updating the directory information.
-ENOSPC: A previous buffered write call has failed.
