Hi All,
The Question is for the compressed offload session.
For a generic codec driver during the startup function it will set some of the hw_constraints rule similarly like this.
snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list(substream->runtime, 0, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_RATE, &constraints_12_24);pcm_lib.c will try to add the rule to the runtime structure by accessing the pointers which will be initialized during opening of the session, as The Constraints added by the codec driver will be updated in the
struct snd_pcm_hw_constraints of runtime structure which will be part of substream handle.
But for the compressed offload I do not see the initialization done for HW constraints, as done in pcm session
2092int snd_pcm_open_substream(struct snd_pcm *pcm, int stream, 2093 struct file *file, 2094 struct snd_pcm_substream **rsubstream)
most of the existing drivers which has the hw_constraint_list code will not be applicable for compress offload session, how to solve this?
You can't directly link physical output/input with the decoder/encoder in general. For decoders, the sample-rate may not always be known ahead of time, e.g. with AAC-SBR implicit signaling. There is no way to add constraints on open, there is an assumption that a sample-rate converter is part of the chain to take care of the difference between the output of the offloaded decoder and the back-end actual sampling frequency (same with number of channels and bit-width btw). Likewise if you encode the frequency may not be the same as what the backend provides and some SRC might be needed. -Pierre
