I checked on these articles...i manually set it the value to 10 but still dont see any power saving... has anyone tried this before and seen any power saving? please help me with more clues...

Taking the sleep out of my thread so I respond to the ALSA callback wakeups as often as possible, I found that snd_pcm_avail_update() returns very small values, usually less than 1/2 the period size and sometimes even 0! It seems as if I'm getting callbacks whenever ALSA feels like giving them. This behavior does not seem to change at all even with different settings of snd_pcm_sw_params_set_avail_min()! I must be missing some key thing in all this. Here are some of the readings. This is with snd_pcm_sw_params_set_avail_min(period_size) and period_size = 470 frames. avail = 68 avail = 202 avail = 336 avail = 0 avail = 134 >What period and buffer sizes do you use? I am using set_buffer/period_time_near and read back the actual values. I get the following with the settings I'm using. buffer_size : 7526 frames period_size : 470 frames I'm set to 22050 sampling rate, 16-bit signed interleaved samples. > FYI, you should seriously consider using poll() rather than the > async/callback interface.

My main issue is that I'm almost out of time to spend on this part of the project. :-( Thanks for your help.

That way, you have a buffer of > slack. It seems to make no difference what snd_pcm_sw_set_avail_min() value I use. I tried setting it from twice to many times the period size. I still get ALSA callbacks very often. When I check available space at each callback invocation using snd_pcm_avail_update(), I almost always get much less than this setting. Indeed most usually much less than a single period size. > You might have better luck trying this on the alsa-devel list. The > developers live there and they > know the internals. It is possible they will answer. Good idea. I am cross-posting this email. (Hopefully to no-one's annoyance...) > I went and looked at the function you are using. > (snip) > Are you using a buffer size compatible with your card. It is possible it is > using the closest one and that is less than the buffer size you have > defined. Just a thought. To set buffer sizes, I am using set_buffer/period_time_near() and taking whatever the card gives me - I read them back with the get functions. One weird thing I noticed is that my card give me a period size of 470 frames *always*, regardless of whatever desired buffer and period time I ask for. I don't think this issue is related to the async behavior weirdness though. Thanks for your help.

[alsa-devel] 2.6.26-rc1 regression: ISA DMA broken (bisected)
by Rene Herman 31 May '08

31 May '08

Good day. commit 8779f2fc3b84ebb6c5181fb13d702e9944c16069 "x86: don't try to allocate from DMA zone at first" breaks all of ISA DMA. Or all of ALSA ISA DMA at least. All ISA soundcards are silent following that commit -- no error messages, everything appears fine, just silence. It won't just revert due to 32/64 merge. Rene.

[alsa-devel] FW: [Alsa-user] raw spdif frame capture

Hi: Anyone have any ideas about the following? As a side note, when I saw raw I don't mean 61937 raw (just preambles and payload), I mean 60958 raw (block sync, payload, VUCP).

You could ask you question on alsa-devel mailing list as they know the internals and might be able to answer your question directly. You could look at the alsa driver code. Go to ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/ and download File:alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2. <ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2> This is the latest official alsa version. Unpack it and then look in "top level"/alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1. That has the C source.

[PATCH] ISA: set 24-bit dma_mask for ISA devices.
by Rene Herman 31 May '08

31 May '08

dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer which is a bit of a hack. The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct device in fact readily available. For the legacy drivers, this sets the device dma_mask in preparation for using the actual device with the DMA API so as to eventually not need the NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent(). This does not fix a current bug -- 2.6.26-rc1 stumbled over the NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent() but this has already been fixed in commit 4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e by Takashi Iwai.

dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer which is a bit of a hack. The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct device in fact readily available. For the PnP drivers, the specific pnp_dev->dev device pointer is not always available at the right time so for now we want to pass the pnp_card->dev instead which is always available. Set its dma_mask in preparation for doing so. This does not fix a current bug -- 2.6.26-rc1 stumbled over the NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent() but this has already been fixed in commit 4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e by Takashi Iwai.
