The poll or select functions (see 'man 2 poll' or 'man 2 select' for further
details) allows to receive requests/events from the device while
an application is waiting on events from other sources (like keyboard, screen,
network etc.), too. \ref snd_pcm_poll_descriptors can be used to get a file
descriptor to poll or select on. The implemented

than expected - do not use only returned file descriptors, but handle

description for more details and \ref snd_pcm_poll_descriptors_revents for
events demangling). The implemented transfer routines can be found in
