player: OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources while pausing on Raspberry PI (using alsa renderer)

[juanrubio]

When space bar is hit (pause), the following error occurs on Raspberry pi with the ALSA pcm renderer as the default renderer.

Tizonia exiting (OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources).

 [OMX.Aratelia.audio_renderer.pulseaudio.pcm:port:0]
 [OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources]

The issue has to do with the fact that the 'snd_pcm_pause' function is not supported by the hardware.

The solution is to use this in stead:

  if (snd_pcm_hw_params_can_pause(p_prc->p_hw_params_))
    {
      bail_on_snd_pcm_error (snd_pcm_pause (p_prc->p_pcm_, pause));
    }
  else
    {
      bail_on_snd_pcm_error (snd_pcm_drop(p_prc->p_pcm_));
    }

Hey @juanrubio , I'm running into the same issue. Where to put the snippet?
