Hi all,
does anyone have any objection to move the loop module (snd-aloop) from the alsa-driver tree to the alsa-kernel tree (Linux 2.6 tree)? I worked on these things last days:
- fixed timing issues (we cannot use the identical period timing for both playback/capture - it also means that the capture and playback buffer setup might be different)
- added proper buffer silencing when the playback is in the draining phase
- added stream parameters change notification (stop the capture stream when the playback stream parameters were changed)
- added controls to propagate the playback stream parameters to the user space with the notification of changes
- added simple time shift functionality to compensate the time drift for another clock source
Sounds good. But, let's merge it into 2.6.37.
I don't see any reason to wait with merging of this pretty generic driver while 2.6.36-rc1 is not released, but I'm not in a hurry :-)
As a generic rule, all new features to be merged should have appeared in linux-next (i.e. also mm tree) before the merge window opened.
