[alsa-devel] [PATCH v4 00/15] ALSA: usb-audio: fix playback/capture concurrent usage

[Eldad Zack]

Hi,

This patch series attempts to fix a long standing problem with the concurrent
usage of playback and capture on implicit feedback devices.

Now the following work properly on my system:
* Full-duplex with jack :)

* All tests I ran with my tool. Will post it in case anyone want to try it,
  it takes about 15 minutes to run all the tests.

* Starting a capture-only jackd instance, e.g.:
    jackd -n 1 -d alsa -d hw:2,0 -C
  and then playback-only:
    jackd -n 2 -d alsa -d hw:2,0 -P
  and then stop and start the playback.
  The same with playback running and restarting capture.

* Trying to start a second substream with parameter mismatch (rate or
  period bytes is all I can test with my device) will fail,
  without ill effects.

With this series applied there are now 3 usage tracking variables:
 - substream usage flag
 - endpoint param_set (to protect the parameters until the endpoint is started)
 - the existing endpoint use_count

Changes from v3:
* Added substream "used" flag, to prevent failure in some combinations of ops. (#13)
* Moved start_endpoints for capture to prepare (#14)
* Added more constraints to the endpoint_may_set_params function (#10)
* Cleanups (#12, #15)

v3:
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2013-August/065744.html

Applies against for-next, tested on upstream 3.12-rc3 (needs Alan Stern's recent
patch "improve buffer size computations for USB PCM audio" to apply cleanly
on current mainline).

Daniel and Nikolay: if you can test again with this series I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Eldad
