Hi,
like previous years, we're going to hold a meeting to discuss lowlevel audio on Linux. This will be held the day after ELC Europe on 8th October at CCD (The Convention Centre) in Dublin.
If you're interested please sign up in the attendee list:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bi-8GHsqlzt41FR20WiMuWILe_cZowFireVM...
and please follow up to this mail with any topics you'd like to see raised so we can start collecting them (probably another Google doc will be forthcoming for them).
My initial topics would be :-
o Reducing alsa kernel and driver size for IoT devices with limited DRAM. Look at Tinyalsa and salsalib too for IoT userspace.
o Generic machine drivers based on ACPI table data from multiple devices. i.e. create a machine driver based on ACPI HW topology data from codec and DSP drivers. This seems to be done for DT, so we probably need to combine ACPI support into the existing code. The device property API can be used to abstract any differences between reading data from DT and ACPI. The difference with DT is that we will need to aggregate data from the codec and DSP tables as we wont have any ACPI table data for a machine driver device.
o Intels audio testing tool (currently called BAT). What new features are needed/wanted most. This is a tool Intel are working on for automated testing of audio drivers and sound servers. It will be GPL licensed and is intended to be part of alsa-utils when ready. I'll make an announcement with more details and a git repo in the next few weeks. We are using this internally atm for testing current upstream SST drivers.
