[alsa-devel] Mixer control for signed gain value

Hi,

The CODEC I am working with takes byte-long gain value in two's complement form. In soc-core.c, the closest functions I see are snd_soc_info_volsw_s8 snd_soc_get_volsw_s8 snd_soc_set_volsw_s8

These functions are coded to work with two integer values. For my purpose, I suppose that I can always set 2nd integer input as zero. However, would I still be able to set volume like amixer sset "Codec Gain" 100 as percentage. If yes, how will amixer know to put upper 8 bits of 16 bit gain in 2nd integer value element?

Thanks Patrick
