[alsa-devel] Alsa lib configure asoundlib.h
by Fausto Carvalho Marques SIlva 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

In salsa library(this library really saved my life, from am alsa-lib of 600K to 45K!!!), developed by Takashi Iwai, the creation of asoundlib.h is dynamic and based on the configure options ( --disable-mixer will remove mixer.h from asoundlib.h). Can alsa-lib do the same??I think it is a good "cleanup" way of doing client header files. Example from configure.ac from salsa-0.0.6: " echo "Creating asoundlib.h..." cp "$srcdir"/src/asoundlib-head.h src/asoundlib.h test "$mixer" = "yes" && echo "#include \"mixer.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$rawmidi" = "yes" && echo "#include \"rawmidi.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$hwdep" = "yes" && echo "#include \"hwdep.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$timer" = "yes" && echo "#include \"timer.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$sndconf" = "yes" && echo "#include \"conf.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$sndseq" = "yes" && echo "#include \"seq_event.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$sndseq" = "yes" && echo "#include \"seq.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h test "$sndseq" = "yes" && echo "#include \"seqmid.h\"" >> src/asoundlib.h cat "$srcdir"/src/asoundlib-tail.h >> src/asoundlib.h " Fausto Carvalho Marques Silva

Are the browsable repos broken - they don't seem to have been updated for days, though I've been told my patch has been applied.

We thought about implementing this in the kernel driver, but after some investigation, we found that we are serializing the driver so much by providing three interfaces (audio, sco and Nav). say pcmC0D0p/c, pcmC0D1p/c and pcmC0D2p/c. Consider the case of two apps audio and sco. We have two interfaces for this pcmC0D0p/c and pcmC0D1p/c priority is audio < sco so interface priority is pcmC0D0p/c < pcmC0D1p/c. Assume that audio is already opened. When we open sco interface audio interface can be in any state, it i can be in paused state or it is about to close etc. So we will have so many states of application in the kernel driver. we need to maintain all these states of application in the kernel driver. Say tomorrow one more application came in to picture, then this complexity will increase. Locking of states of streams is also required in this case. correct me if I am going wrong > > BTW, any reason to drop Cc to alsa-devel ML?

[alsa-devel] Writing a new plugin for ALSA
by Nobin Mathew 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi, I am trying to write a new ALSA plugin, like dmix. My intend is to give priority to streams, i will not do up sample and down sample as we do in the case of dmix. If we do up sample and down sample then I think it will take lot of cpu. In my case I have three streams audio, bluetooth sco and Navigation sound data. priority is audio < sco < Nav audio rate is 44100hz, sco rate is 8000hz when sco is up audio should pause playback and audio should continue when sco is finished. I dont want to do software mixing. Thats why I am trying to write this new plugin. Assume that audio is active first, then sco comes to active state. So what i will do is in the library i will put audio app in sleep(), and re-configure the pcm for sco. Once sco is finished i will re-configure pcm for audio again like wise. so my question is there any api in the alsa-lib to take a copy of pcm structures, so when audio comes back gain i can use these saved pcm conf to that. Is there any api in the alsa-lib to reset the pcm structure to initialized state, means state just after open. Thanks Nobin Mathew
