[alsa-devel] [PATCH] [ML403-AC97CR] Remove duplicate snd_card_set_dev().
by Joachim Foerster 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hi Takashi, I noticed, that there was a change in ml403-ac97cr.c, which introduces a second call of snd_card_set_dev() in the _probe()-function. The "original" one is in the snd_ml403_ac97cr_create()-function. According the other changes, I guess, we want to have it in the _probe()-function, now (=> following patch)? From: Joachim Foerster <JOFT(a)gmx.de> We want to have snd_card_set_dev() in _probe(), but not a second one in snd_ml403_ac97cr_create().

[alsa-devel] Grab PCM stream into file
by Alexander Indenbaum 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello, I'm playing with embedded system without any hardware sound device. Strategically we'd like to forward PCM stream from ALSA clients on user level to proprietary application. As initial proof of concept stage I'd like to grab sound from ALSA application, for instance Firefox displaying YouTube clip inside flash plugin and to store output PCM stream into file on local disk. Please advice how I could achieve this goal. Alexander Indenbaum

[alsa-devel] How to stop playback on alsa synth?
by Lukasz Pawelczyk 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hello. I'd like to ask how to completely stop playback using alsa synth. Basically my program initialized output in the following way: snd_seq_open() snd_seq_set_client_name() snd_seq_client_id() snd_seq_parse_address() snd_seq_create_simple_port() snd_seq_connect_to() snd_seq_alloc_named_queue() Then I create a new thread that processes events. It sets tempo and in infinite loop it does: snd_seq_ev_set_fixed() snd_seq_event_output() This all is based on aplaymidi code. How can I asynchronously immediately stop all the playback? Basicaly it requires breaking snd_seq_event_output() thats locked on my thread. I tried everything I could come up with. I know very little about alsa synth programming and basically thats the only thing i need to do now. Tried: snd_seq_ev_set_queue_stop() snd_seq_stop_queue() snd_seq_remove_events() or even closing the seq completely to reopen it on another file playback with: snd_seq_stop_queue() snd_seq_disconnect_to() snd_seq_delete_simple_port() snd_seq_close() All failed, results were very various. I simply run out of ideas. It doesn't matter if the method would require to close seq or not. I just need to stop the playback so i can gracefully stop the thread and play another file (with eventual reopening ports/seq). Would appreciate any help. -- Regards Havner {jid,mail}:havner(at)pld-linux.org "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

[PATCH] Dirty hack to use GPIO95 in AC97 reset.
by Robert Jarzmik 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Mio Mitac A701 uses GPIO95 instead of GPIO113 as the reset line connected to the WM9713 chip.

EAPD command can be issued only on widgets that support. ALC262 has no EAPD pin caps at all. so it doesn't work like that. Instead, ALC262 (and other Realtek codecs) has a special sequence with coefficients to the vendor-defined widget. Yes, it's a black magic. Try the following sequence: 0x20 SET_COEF_INDEX 0x07 0x20 SET_PROC_COEF 0x3060 0x3060 can be different numbers like 0x3070 or 0x3050. If you set a different number, reset the coef index again (i.e. always call as a pair). Takashi

[alsa-devel] aplay: playback:2021: read error
by Pharaoh . 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I am getting aplay: playback:2021: read error while running my plugin on an arm based board, it seems that, this has to do something with permissions etc or may be the sound card is being shared etc. I don't have a registered sound card since there is no kernel driver for my sound hw. I use my plugin as, aplay -D my_plug test.wav -pharaoh.

[alsa-devel] AK4114 - capturing spdif input stops the stream
by Pavel Hofman 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, here is my scenario: ICE1724 card, trying to record from SPDIF input via AK4114, ICE1724 slaved to SPDIF clock from the receiver. The card detects SPDIF input rate correctly (in my case ESI Juli where AK4114 is provided with independent clock signal to enable the rate detection). Let's say it is 192000. Now I want to arecord the input stream, let's say in CD quality, using the plug plugin. The command fails, because of the check in ak4114.c: res = external_rate(rcs1); if (!(flags & AK4114_CHECK_NO_RATE) && runtime && runtime->rate != res) { snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave(ak4114->capture_substream, _flags); if (snd_pcm_running(ak4114->capture_substream)) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "rate changed (%i <- %i)\n", runtime->rate, res); snd_pcm_stop(ak4114->capture_substream, SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DRAINING); res = 1; } snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore(ak4114->capture_substream, _flags); } The stream gets stopped because res = 192000 and runtime->rate = 44100. The problem is that the capture device still offers all the available rates, instead of the single SPDIF input one. Thus, the plug plugin is not forced to convert from 192000 to 44100 and runtime->rate is 44100 instead of 192000. Of course recording at 192000 works fine. What would be the best way to force the SPDIF capture device to offer (advertise) only the current rate? This functionality would have to be applicable only to the few cards correctly detecting incoming rate (unlike most ice1724 cards without independent clock in slave mode). If the card cannot detect input frequency reliably (the driver developer should know), I guess it should not do the check in ak4114.c at all - I can prepare a simple patch for that. The same will most probably apply to cards with AK4117 as the code looks the same. I know it is a minor issue but if a user hits this problem, it will take him a lot of effort to fix his setup appropriately. Thanks, Pavel.

[alsa-devel] [ALC262 patch_realtek.c] Fujitsu Lifebook port replicator/dock headphone jack sense
by Tony Vroon 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Good afternoon, Could you please consider the following patch for the 2.6.26 merge window. The docking station headphone output had no audio and jack sense was not considered. Jack information from the laptop itself and the dock are combined, as the dock does not obscure the connector. Signed-Off-By: Tony Vroon <tony(a)linx.net> Regards, Tony V. LINX sysadmin P.S. Codec graph included in case anyone wants to start using mic jack sense for automated capture source selection.
