[alsa-devel] [PATCH v3 0/7] ALSA: aloop: Support sound timer as clock source instead of jiffies
This patch set is an updated version of patches by Timo Wischer: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-March/146871.html
This patch set is required for forwarding audio data between a HW sound card and an aloop device without the usage of an asynchronous sample rate converter.
Most of sound and timers related code is kept the same as in previous set. The code, related to snd_pcm_link() functionality and its using for timer source setting, is removed (as rejected earlier). The changes in this update are mainly related to the parameters handling and some cleanup.
The timer source can be initially selected by "timer_source" kernel module parameter. It is supposed to have the following format: [<pref>:](<card name>|<card idx>)[{.,}<dev idx>[{.,}<subdev idx>]] For example: "hw:I82801AAICH.1.0", or "1.1", or just "I82801AAICH". (Prefix is ignored, just allowed here to be able to use the strings, the user got used to). Although the parsing function recognizes both '.' and ',' as a separator, module parameters handling routines use ',' to separate parameters for different module instances (array elements), so we have to use '.' to separate device and subdevice numbers from the card name or number in module parameters. Empty string indicates using jiffies as a timer source.
Besides "static" selection of timer source at module load time, it is possible to dynamically change it via sound "info" interface (using "/proc/asound/<card>/timer_source" file in read-write mode. The contents of this file is used as a timer source string for a particular loopback card, e.g. "hw:0,0,0" (and here ',' can be used as a separator).
The timer source string value can be changed at any time, but it is latched by PCM substream open callback "loopback_open()" (the first one for a particular cable). At this point it is actually used, that is the string is parsed, and the timer is looked up and opened. This seems to be a good trade-off between flexibility of updates and synchronizations or racing complexity.
The timer source is set for a loopback card (the same as initial setting by module parameter), but every cable uses the value, current at the moment of opening. Theoretically, it's possible to set the timer source for each cable independently (via separate files), but it would be inconsistent with the initial setting via module parameters on a per-card basis.
v2: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-November/157961.h...
v3: - Change sound card lookup to use snd_card_ref() and avoid direct access to sound cards array - Squash commits on returning error codes for timer start and stop - Some locking related fixes - Some code cleanup

From: Timo Wischer twischer@de.adit-jv.com
to do synchronous audio forwarding between hardware sound card and aloop devices. Such an audio route could look like the following: Sound card -> Loopback application -> ALSA loop device -> arecord
In this case the loopback device should use the sound timer of the sound card. Without this patch the loopback application has to implement an adaptive sample rate converter to align the different clocks of the different ALSA devices.
The used timer can be selected by referring to a sound card, its device and subdevice, when loading the module: $ modprobe snd_aloop enable=1 timer_source=[<card>[.<dev>[.<subdev>]]] <card> is the name (id) of the sound card or a card number. <dev> and <subdev> are device and subdevice numbers (defaults are 0). Empty string as a value of timer_source= parameter enables previous functionality (using jiffies timer).

Show and change sound card timer source with read-write info file in proc filesystem. Initial string can still be set as module parameter.
The timer source string value can be changed at any time, but it is latched by PCM substream open callback (the first one for a particular cable). At this point it is actually used, that is the string is parsed, and the timer is looked up and opened.
The timer source is set for a loopback card (the same as initial setting by module parameter), but every cable uses the value, current at the moment of open.
Setting the value to empty string switches the timer to jiffies.

This seems to be a good trade-off between flexibility of updates and synchronizations or racing complexity.
The timer source is set for a loopback card (the same as initial setting by module parameter), but every cable uses the value, current at the moment of opening. Theoretically, it's possible to set the timer source for each cable independently (via separate files), but it would be inconsistent with the initial setting via module parameters on a per-card basis.
v2: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-November/157961.h...
v3:
- Change sound card lookup to use snd_card_ref() and avoid direct access to sound cards array
- Squash commits on returning error codes for timer start and stop
- Some locking related fixes
- Some code cleanup
The patch won't work with the latest ALSA timer code found in my for-next branch due to the API changes. Essentially you need to rewrite as: timeri = snd_timer_instance_new(...); if (!timeri) no_memory_error; timeri->flags |= ...; timeri->ccallback = ...; .... err = snd_timer_open(timeri, ....); if (err < 0) error;

Besides "static" selection of timer source at module load time, it is possible to dynamically change it via sound "info" interface (using "/proc/asound/<card>/timer_source" file in read-write mode. The contents of this file is used as a timer source string for a particular loopback card, e.g. "hw:0,0,0" (and here ',' can be used as a separator).
The timer source string value can be changed at any time, but it is latched by PCM substream open callback "loopback_open()" (the first one for a particular cable). At this point it is actually used, that is the string is parsed, and the timer is looked up and opened. This seems to be a good trade-off between flexibility of updates and synchronizations or racing complexity.
The timer source is set for a loopback card (the same as initial setting by module parameter), but every cable uses the value, current at the
moment
of opening. Theoretically, it's possible to set the timer source for
each
cable independently (via separate files), but it would be inconsistent with the initial setting via module parameters on a per-card basis.

v3:
- Change sound card lookup to use snd_card_ref() and avoid direct access to sound cards array
- Squash commits on returning error codes for timer start and stop
- Some locking related fixes
- Some code cleanup
The patch won't work with the latest ALSA timer code found in my for-next branch due to the API changes. Essentially you need to rewrite as: timeri = snd_timer_instance_new(...); if (!timeri) no_memory_error; timeri->flags |= ...; timeri->ccallback = ...; .... err = snd_timer_open(timeri, ....); if (err < 0) error;
The updated patch set version 4 was sent to mailing list: https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-November/158896.h tml
It is based on the linux-next repo master branch as of Nov 19, 2019.
Thanks!
