[alsa-devel] Request for CS4280 Manual
by Amar singh 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello Sir, I'm a newbie in Linux Deivce Drivers and Kernel Development. We're writing our own driver for sound card - Cirrus Logic, Sound Fusion CS4280. in Fedora Core 6 Linux flavour. For that I've been looking for the programming manual of the above said sound card, for a long time now, but didn't succeed in getting one. Since nothing being fruitful for me in this case, we're stuck up with our project, at the start. Therefore I'd kindly like to request you to plz, send me, if you can, the programming manual in the pdf/doc format or a link to the place from where we can get that document. We'd really appreciate your help for the matter. Looking ahead for positive reply from you. Thanks and Regards, Amar singh Emertxe Information Technologies (P) Ltd., Bangalore - 56. India.

[alsa-devel] Why do I not see patches in the emails?
by Timur Tabi 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Can someone tell me why I can't see that actual patches in the posts that include them? I'm guessing it's some odd configuration option, but I went to http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/options/alsa-devel and I didn't see anything applicable. Here's an example. As you can see, there is a text/plain attachment where the patch would be, but it's empty.

[alsa-devel] FW: Individual PCM stream control
by Nagalla, Hari 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Thanks for the reply.. We followed your suggestions and we see the PCM stream controls from the user space after we have created the controls at the driver using IFACE_PCM tags.. But when I try to set the 'index' in 'snd_ctl_elem_id' to reflect the PCM substream number, it seems to always get reset to '0'. Can you please suggest, how to set the index. --- snapshot of the code -------- snd_ctl_elem_info_alloca(&info); snd_ctl_elem_id_alloca(&id); snd_ctl_elem_value_alloca(&control); snd_ctl_elem_id_set_numid(id, ctl_num); snd_ctl_elem_id_set_interface(id, SND_CTL_ELEM_IFACE_PCM); fprintf(stdout,"setting the mute/unmute for stream index 0x%x \n", (unsigned int) stream_id); snd_ctl_elem_id_set_index(id,(unsigned int) stream_id); if (handle == NULL && (err = snd_ctl_open(&handle, card, 0)) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"Control %s open error: %s\n", card, snd_strerror(err)); return err; } snd_ctl_elem_info_set_id(info, id); if ((err = snd_ctl_elem_info(handle, info)) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"Cannot find the given element from control %s\n", card); return err; } snd_ctl_elem_info_get_id(info, id); /* FIXME: Remove it when hctl find works ok !!! */ type = snd_ctl_elem_info_get_type(info); count = snd_ctl_elem_info_get_count(info); snd_ctl_elem_value_set_id(control, id); show_control_id(id); printf("\n"); fprintf(stdout, "Retrieving the stream index 0x%x \n",snd_ctl_elem_id_get_index(id)); ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks a bunch !!

Re: [alsa-devel] 1010lt (ice1712) asoundrc for 6 virtual mono cards question
by Giovanni Maruzzelli 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I applied the first hint from Jaroslav (at the end of this post the new asound.conf), but the problem seems not gone: one time each 256 seconds I get a very strong cpu load spike, that is maybe related (my guess) to the usage of plugin (maybe periodic cleaning each 256 secs?). When there is no spike, the cpu load is 0.0% with occasional 0.1% any 60-90 secs. I ran the latency test code with plughw:0 (I can't use latency.c with my virtual cards because they can't link the in and out togheter) using the blocking mode, real time, no poll. Any 256 secs, spike! (a cpu load for latency.c of 45.00%, for roughly a sec, with the cumulated cpu time of the latency.c app reported from top -d 1.0 passing from: 0:00.01 to: 0:00.64 to: 0:01.26 etc, any 256 seconds.
