[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Allow more routing features for tlv320aic3x
by Daniel Mack 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi, this patch adds more routing possibilities to the tlv320aic3x code driver. Stereo mixers are, as dicussed earlier, not appropriate due to the versatile channel functions of this rather complex chip. Best regards, Daniel

Or is there a recommended > driver between the two? Honestly, I don't care at all if anyone will continue working on my previous driver code, but I have no interest right now... Takashi

[alsa-devel] Creative X-Fi driver integration
by The Source 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi, is it possible to include Creative driver into alsa drivers package, so it will be available right after kernel installation without additional compiling? Besides, you can react faster to kernel changes and make driver compatible with latest kernels when necessary, if you include it.

[alsa-devel] floating point exception triggered by speaker-test on pc-speaker
by Alexander E. Patrakov 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hello, I have hit a strange bug. To reproduce: 1. Build snd-pcsp.ko. 2. alsamixer -c pcsp, set the base frequency to 37286 Hz 3. $ speaker-test -r 22050 -P 4 -D plughw:pcsp speaker-test 1.0.18 Playback device is plughw:pcsp Stream parameters are 22050Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 22050Hz (requested 22050Hz) Buffer size range from 37 to 38756 Period size range from 18 to 19379 Using max buffer size 38756 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 0 was set buffer_size = 38756 0 - Front Left Floating point exception I.e., as you see, period size somehow became 0. While debugging this with printfs, I noticed that the interval for periods in snd_pcm_hw_param_set_near() starts with 4, but doesn't include it (i.e., is open). Also, I found that snd_interval_refine_first() and snd_interval_refine_last(), when given an open interval, refine it to something like (n n+1). This is obviously wrong, as there are no integer points in this interval. Changing i->max++ and i->min-- there to adjust the value by 2 did eliminate the floating point exception, but replaced it with "Unable to set nperiods 4 for playback: Invalid argument". So there must be something else also wrong, but I can't pinpoint it and give you a ready-made patch :( -- Alexander E. Patrakov

[alsa-devel] Query for running OSS application on ALSA
by Saxena, Anshuman 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi, I have been using OSS drivers and applications. Now I have moved to ALSA SoC framework supported in the kernel. I have got the same OSS application running on this ALSA SoC framework but I have the following observation: When I run the OSS application to playback some audio through ALSA SoC framework, and I send CTRL+C signal to terminate the application, I see a delay of around 3-4 sec before the application really close. I traced and found out that it takes lot of time in snd_pcm_drain in pcm_native.c . But if I run some ALSA application, I do not see this delay in terminating the application. Is there some known issue with OSS emulation of ALSA SoC framework? I feel that some buffers are being drained out to the audio codec and hence this time is consumed. Is their some configuration for the buffer size? Can I directly stop the data transfer to codec and discard the remaining data? Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Anshuman

[alsa-devel] Intel HDA and FEDORA 9 with 2.6.27.4 kernel
by Pilipovic, Josip 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Hi All ... I am running Fedora 9 with 2.6.27.4 kernel. I have download and instaled ALSA 1.0.18. Card is EUROTECH INC CATALYST with Intel ATOM processor and Intel System Controler Hub US15W. Attached is output from alsa-info.sh and /proc/asound/card0. I have run bunch of different voice test but no sound on either output on this card. I have compile alsa library pcm test and run on this board no sound. I have activated and added some dignostic to hda controler code
