Hi,
here is my scenario:
ICE1724 card, trying to record from SPDIF input via AK4114, ICE1724 slaved to SPDIF clock from the receiver.
The card detects SPDIF input rate correctly (in my case ESI Juli where AK4114 is provided with independent clock signal to enable the rate detection). Let's say it is 192000.
Now I want to arecord the input stream, let's say in CD quality, using the plug plugin. The command fails, because of the check in ak4114.c:
res = external_rate(rcs1); if (!(flags & AK4114_CHECK_NO_RATE) && runtime && runtime->rate != res) { snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave(ak4114->capture_substream, _flags); if (snd_pcm_running(ak4114->capture_substream)) { printk(KERN_DEBUG "rate changed (%i <- %i)\n", runtime->rate, res); snd_pcm_stop(ak4114->capture_substream, SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DRAINING); res = 1; } snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore(ak4114->capture_substream, _flags); }
The stream gets stopped because res = 192000 and runtime->rate = 44100.
The problem is that the capture device still offers all the available rates, instead of the single SPDIF input one. Thus, the plug plugin is not forced to convert from 192000 to 44100 and runtime->rate is 44100 instead of 192000.
Of course recording at 192000 works fine.
What would be the best way to force the SPDIF capture device to offer (advertise) only the current rate? This functionality would have to be applicable only to the few cards correctly detecting incoming rate (unlike most ice1724 cards without independent clock in slave mode).
What about to call snd_ak4114_check_rate_and_errors() at PCM open? You can pass AK4114_CHECK_NO_RATE to flags argument to skip the check there, at least.
Well, I would not want to skip the check for cards with functioning rate detection. Plus snd_ak4114_check_rate_and_errors gets called periodically afterwards.
Yes, but the check there is simply useless at open. It's only for running states. snd_ak4114_external_rate() would be simler, then.
It would be great if the driver in slaved-clock mode cut its list of native sample rates to the only one currently fed to SPDIF input and detected by AK4114. A routine doing this would be called when switching clock to the slaved-clock mode and called again in snd_ak4114_check_rate_and_errors() when any change in input rate is detected (and the stream is not running). Going back to master-clock mode would restore the existing list of all the rates.
In case of input sample rate change when the PCM stream is running, the stream would be stopped. This is already implemented in the current version of snd_ak4114_check_rate_and_errors()
Unfortunately, I do not know how to change the rates list properly not to break something. If it is only about changing the HW params struct, that would be trivial.
Suppose that the slave <-> master mode change doesn't happen during the stream is opened, it's relatively easy. So far, ice1724.c doesn't call spdif.ops.open/close callbacks. Call them in *_spdif_open/close functions with NULL check. Then add open hook in juli.c so that you can change rates_min and rates_max to the currently detected rate at open...
Well, it's faster to write a patch than texts.

Thanks a lot. I will test it in the evening. The code looks simple now but without your help I would be stuck forever :)
