[alsa-devel] Audio mini conference 2014?
Hi,
did anyone think of a meeting in this year? AFAIK, a couple of good candidates to tie with are:
- LinuxCon + KS will be at Chicago, USA (in August 18-22) - Plumbers will be at Duesseldorf, Germany (in October 15-17)
Any other opportunities? I'm not sure whether I'll be in the former (due to private reason), but very likely I'll attend the latter.
And, if we hold a meeting, in which format? I find the previous year's meeting was nice; i.e. a kind of mini-summit that doesn't conflict with other meetings is my preference. But I'm open for other options.
thanks,
Takashi

I will probably visit Plumbers.

Hi,
I'm planning to go to Plumbers, and I think reserving a full mini-summit day is a good idea.
I'm not planning to go to LinuxCon in Chicago.

During last years conference, we were talking about having it as a separate event. We would like to host it here in Austin if possible.

Duesseldorf works best for me as well. I think last years format was fine.

I don't have specific plans for anything, though I guess it's likely I might be at KS. If not Plumbers is going to be easiest.

Me too.

If we want to do something at LPC we really ought to submit a proposal if we can, the accepted miniconferences are already starting to be announced.
If we want a full day that does not collide with anything else, I guess Saturday 18th would be an option. Or Tuesday 14th if most people are there for plumbers rather than Linuxcon?

I guess most of developers will attend LPC primarily. Maybe we should apply to LPC mini conf no matter which date we'll hold, so that we can get a room properly?

Sounds reasonable - you and Mark probably know that better than me.
For me it felt better with the full day we had last year, compared to the standard 2 hour microconference time though.

Has anything happened on this front?
To me it sounds a bit strange to simultaneously plan to have a whole-day event, especially outside the official LPC dates as David suggested, and also to try to get an official microconference accepted. They seem mutually exclusive plans, unless we want to have two events... But I don't really mind - no matter the day or format, I'll most likely be there :)

Mark asked LF about an extra room, but I haven't heard the result yet. Mark, how is the progress?

No, I didn't ask them - you aske what I did last year but I had been under the impression that was so you could ask them about Dusseldorf. I guess you want me to do it then?

Gah, then a complete misunderstanding. I just asked one LPC program committee guy about the room availability and reported back to some of you guys. Mark, would you mind asking Angela again like the last year? I have to leave from net from now for a while...

Ugh, this got buried under a bunch of other mail so I didn't see it - sorry. Anyway, I've sent several mails to Angela but just not got any reply at all even to say it's not possible. I just tried again, hopefully we'll get somewhere :/

Of course it's possible to hold a meeting in a different place at different time. I can book a meeting room in my office in Nuremberg, too, for example. Let's see.

Right, though that might get more difficult for people to organize travel. Trying to find some space ad hoc in Dusseldorf might also work.

While we're trying to sort out the location, could we have a quick poll w r t which dates people prefer? Setting a date could help people book travel to Düsseldorf.
For my own part, I'm pretty flexible.

For me it is OK if it is either during LinuxCon Europe or during Plumbers or immediately before/after. Basically, the requirement is to be able to book a room in the hotel that works for all three events.

Project ends up due to frequency problems ... ags.sf.net really has a need for participation or I'll give it up
Please tell me if you're interested in further development of it.

Okay joining this bit late :)
I am planning to come. After/before LPC is fine with me.
So who else is attending and what are the topics being planned?

Ok, they guys from ChaosDorf now got back to me. They need to make a final discussion internally yet, but it appears to be working. I'll hear back from them next Wednesday with a final decision.
The ChaosDorf is a CCC hack space that hosts all sort of user group meetings and the like. Their website is here:
I told them we'd be ~20ppl and they think they can accommodate that number, and they also have a beamer. Or do we expect to be more?
They have a room layout and some pictures here:
https://wiki.chaosdorf.de/Clubraum
I've never been there myself, so I can't say anything about it, but usually, these Hackspaces are quite nice. They're no typical conference rooms though.
What date would we prefer? There's an event on Tuesday night (~6pm), but I guess we wouldn't need the room longer than that anyway, right?
If that location doesn't match our needs, let me know - I can still seek for alternatives.

It would be best that it is not during LPC as mentioned before. Will Saturday after LPC work as well?

I've never been there myself, so I can't say anything about it, but usually, these Hackspaces are quite nice. They're no typical conference rooms though.
What date would we prefer? There's an event on Tuesday night (~6pm), but I guess we wouldn't need the room longer than that anyway, right?
It would be best that it is not during LPC as mentioned before. Will Saturday after LPC work as well?
I'll ask them.

Unfortunately not. I'll try again.
Ok, they guys from ChaosDorf now got back to me. They need to make a final discussion internally yet, but it appears to be working. I'll hear back from them next Wednesday with a final decision.
The ChaosDorf is a CCC hack space that hosts all sort of user group meetings and the like. Their website is here:
I told them we'd be ~20ppl and they think they can accommodate that number, and they also have a beamer. Or do we expect to be more?

Plumbers starts Wed.. So tue can work too :)
Btw should we request a LPC track for backup.

I believe it is too late to request a LPC track.
Checking the site again, looks like we can still make a request
Tuesday would be good as well. Should we go with that since we may have a place for it?
I am okay either days.
Btw I didnt hear about the topics...

My bad, wrong interpretation. Looks like new uconf are not accepted.
Mark, Takashi, can we get some leeway with organizers

I am okay either days.
Btw I didnt hear about the topics...
If there is interest I'll prepare something about ASoC componentization, what's the status and where it is going.
That would be good.
I was planning to discuss Dynamic FW, effect API (yet again), more DSP support esp on PCM side

I can discuss rewinding in ALSA PCM plugins (actually planned that for LPC, but it got rejected), and/or a short talk about resampler quality evaluation for PulseAudio.

Yeah, Tuesday sounds good to me, too. Can we book a room for the whole day?

I've not heard a thing from Angela, I was going to speak to the Linux Foundation people in person next week in Chicago (I'll probably do that no matter what since it's a bit concerning getting complete radio silence).
It'd be nicer to be in the same place as the rest of the conference but OTOH we don't want to muck the Chaosdorf folks around so it might make sense to just go ahead, I don't have a particularly strong preference either way I guess.

I just spoke to Angela - she was incredibly apologetic and said she didn't get my e-mails, I guess I've been hit by the same filtering problems that has been hitting Linus with some pull requests. She said we should be able to get something on Monday or Tuesday.
I don't mind which option we go with, should I carry on or should I tell her we'll go with ChaosDorf?

Well, speaking of my preference, staying in the same location (the conference center) would be more practical. But I don't mind much either.

Yea, from a logistics point of view it would be nice to keep it in the same location. On the other hand it doesn't seem to be that far away: https://goo.gl/maps/ax9Oi

Sure, logistically, it might indeed be better of course, and it wouldn't be a problem to cancel the ChaosDorf thing I guess - it's still two month in advance.
Let me know when we have a confirmed room at the conference venue, then I can let the ChaosDorf people know.

Yes thats on the list too :) Me and Liam will try to send RFCs before the conference. At least on my side thats next todo after current mrfld driver is done.

- ABI/API documentation (Takashi) We're not good at this at all, obviously. Let's define the priority to start working on.
- Control names (Takashi) It's wild west for now, everyone picks up a random funky name.
- Code removals (Takashi) There have been actions to remove the codes for old hardware recently. Which is acceptable? Feature removals, too?

I would be interested in this as well, some test framework for auto regression checks would be great.
I think Mark would be at KS and can update if we can leverage something for kselftest stuff being discussed there
- ABI/API documentation (Takashi) We're not good at this at all, obviously. Let's define the priority to start working on.
I think ASoC has grown a lot with DPCM etc making it very dynamic atm. So yes it will help to add more
- Control names (Takashi) It's wild west for now, everyone picks up a random funky name.
yes, I think the current control names were too HDA specific. With DSP and audio hub proliferation on SoCs/Codecs revisiting this would certainly be great. Like how do I specify volume control for gain before a mixer, or gain in capture BE which is different from the one on capture FE.
- Code removals (Takashi) There have been actions to remove the codes for old hardware recently. Which is acceptable? Feature removals, too?
Configuration convergence:
From the OS side, we have Desktop OSes relying on PA, Chrome using CRAS,
Android using flinger. With DSPs and tons of configuration it doesn't bode well to have multiple configuration for same stuff for the sound cards. Can we talk about unifying the configuration at least. Sure OSes will have their own ways to use, but from ALSA can we standardize configurations which can be reused across.
And lastly, our users :) Ask from PA, Android, ChomesOS folks??

I think ASoC has grown a lot with DPCM etc making it very dynamic atm. So yes it will help to add more
- Control names (Takashi) It's wild west for now, everyone picks up a random funky name.
yes, I think the current control names were too HDA specific.
Actually, the current names are based on hardware in era before HD-audio. Even HD-audio doesn't fit fully with the current rule.
With DSP and audio hub proliferation on SoCs/Codecs revisiting this would certainly be great. Like how do I specify volume control for gain before a mixer, or gain in capture BE which is different from the one on capture FE.
- Code removals (Takashi) There have been actions to remove the codes for old hardware recently. Which is acceptable? Feature removals, too?
Configuration convergence:
From the OS side, we have Desktop OSes relying on PA, Chrome using CRAS,
Android using flinger. With DSPs and tons of configuration it doesn't bode well to have multiple configuration for same stuff for the sound cards. Can we talk about unifying the configuration at least. Sure OSes will have their own ways to use, but from ALSA can we standardize configurations which can be reused across.
I thought UCM was targeted to this, but not widely used as expected?
And lastly, our users :) Ask from PA, Android, ChomesOS folks??
Yeah. Let's throw a call for topic to relevant MLs when the schedule and location is finalized.

I run automated tests of the HDA codec parser code and has done so for quite a while now. Not much has happened the last year, but I can talk about it if anyone is interested. (It's a test framework around hda-emu.)

I would be interested in this as well, some test framework for auto regression checks would be great.
I think Mark would be at KS and can update if we can leverage something for kselftest stuff being discussed there
Not really, it's more about standardising the way tests are triggered and reported.

The latest Google reference designs use something which is essentially tinyucm - the configuration is mostly stored in an XML configuration file which is read at runtime. It's not consistent with what anyone else uses.

Right, the problems with alsa-lib licensing and the changes in the configuration format have been a bit of a blocker - there are actually some substantial deployments of the pre-merge configuration file format.

Well, speaking of my preference, staying in the same location (the conference center) would be more practical. But I don't mind much either.
Yea, from a logistics point of view it would be nice to keep it in the same location. On the other hand it doesn't seem to be that far away: https://goo.gl/maps/ax9Oi
Sure, logistically, it might indeed be better of course, and it wouldn't be a problem to cancel the ChaosDorf thing I guess - it's still two month in advance.
Let me know when we have a confirmed room at the conference venue, then I can let the ChaosDorf people know.
I would also like to know what kind of presentation equipment (a projector or a big TV) will be available. For me, this is important, because TVs usually have no problems with color reproduction, and thus I can show directly what matplotlib.pyplot.pcolormesh() produces. On a projector, I would probably have to resort to other ways of presenting functions of two real variables.

Those must be the qcom designs. They use a “tinyucm" that is xml based.
I would like to see if we could get a consistent UCM for Android/Chrome/etc. Has this made it into the topics list?

It was because they aren't automatically probeable without loading the driver and taking a look at the hardware - if a distro wants to use them it ends up having to load and unload the module.

So he was grumbling about ISA sound card hardware design? Then I understand and agree well. Though, the fact that it isn't discoverable is same on many old embedded device drivers. The difference is whether it's used only in a custom kernel or in a generic kernel by distros.

Any embedded devices doing that are just broken - for embedded things you do always have an enumeration of the devices even if it happens to come from a data table in software. For ISA there's no option.

Alright, I also think it makes more sense to go for the room at the venue then.
