Hello,
I'm trying to add 24bit playback for E-mu cards into emu10k driver. These cards use an FPGA, which is 32bit internally and it is feeded via 10k2 EMU32 BUSes. Unfortunatelly, the emu10k DMA cannot handle more than 16bit samples, so kind of tricky stuff is needed. The already working 24bit multichannel capture uses an DSP code, which splits an 32 bit sample into two halfs, sent it over two DMA channels and then alsa lib (???) joins it back into S32_LE sample.
I'm trying to use same technique in reverse way using a pair of A_FXBUSes for one playback chanel, but I'm not able to set the DMA the way I need. Can someone with emu10k knowledge help me?
I did quite a bit of work on this driver a few years back, among other things I implemented the multichannel playback support (the hw:0,3 device).
Do you have a web page with details on your work, or can you explain exactly what you've done so far and how it fails? Preferably in patch form...
How are you getting your hardware info? I mostly used the kX drivers and guesswork.
