[alsa-devel] CELF Project Proposal - ALSA scenario/use case support
by Liam Girdwood 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Summary: Complete ALSA hardware scenario/use case support in alsa-lib and salsa-lib Proposer: Liam Girdwood Description: Modern mobile devices are increasingly required to provide a rich set of audio functionality required by today's applications. ALSA currently lacks a portable and high level API to configure audio hardware function and signal routing. e.g. there is no portable method atm to configure the audio hardware to make a "handset gsm phone call" or "handset voip phone call", etc. This purpose of this project would be to complete the ALSA scenario manager API and get it accepted upstream in alsa-lib and salsa-lib. The code is nearly ready for upstream, with some work required on it's file format as the main piece of outstanding work. More Info: ** http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/?p=40 API header: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=include/ascenario.h;h=… Development branch now hosted as alsa-lib branch here :- ** http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=shortlog;h=ascenario Scope: This project will probably take between 2 - 4 weeks. Thanks Liam

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Fix disable of SPDIF on STAC9766 codec

[alsa-devel] poll events?
by pl bossart 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I am trying to understand what the expected behavior of poll() is in audio applications. I am using the pcm.c test app from alsa-lib with the following parameters. ./pcm -Dhw -c2 -r48000 -f440 --method write_and_poll The output looks like this: snd_pcm_dump(): Hardware PCM card 0 'Intel ICH6' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 8192 period_time : 170666 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 8192 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 16384 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 Now I instrumented the code in sound/core/pcm_native.c to show what events are returned by snd_pcm_playback_poll(), and I get the following pattern: [ 176.062986] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.066630] ALSA: null poll event, avail 175 avail_min 8192 [ 176.233739] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.237399] ALSA: null poll event, avail 176 avail_min 8192 [ 176.404503] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.407652] ALSA: null poll event, avail 152 avail_min 8192 [ 176.575257] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.578995] ALSA: null poll event, avail 180 avail_min 8192 [ 176.745999] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.749663] ALSA: null poll event, avail 176 avail_min 8192 [ 176.916750] ALSA: poll event POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM, avail 8193 avail_min 8192 [ 176.919893] ALSA: null poll event, avail 151 avail_min 8192 It looks like I am getting additional wakeups from poll instead of waiting for a complete period. Is this supposed to be ok or is there something broken here? My expectation is that the hardware would only generate interrupts when a period has elapsed, i.e avail>=avail_min. The delta shown in dmesg between two POLLOUT events matches the period duration of 171 ms, I don't understand what generates these additional null events. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help. - Pierre

Sorry for asking it here, but alsa-user mailing list is not responding. Has anyone tested yet if this card is supported? (not extreme audio, just X-Fi Notebook)

And 5 seconds is already a history since genesis. If it takes so long, something other is fishy. Although extending the timeout would be relatively harmless, I still don't think this is the point to fix. More likely the problem is in the codec accessor side... thanks, Takashi
