[alsa-devel] [Xen-devel][PATCH v3 5/5] sndif: Add explicit back and front parameter negotiation

Mon Mar 19 08:22:24 CET 2018


From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko at epam.com>

In order to provide explicit stream parameter negotiation between
backend and frontend the following change is introduced to the protocol:
 - add XENSND_OP_HW_PARAM_QUERY request to read/update
   stream configuration space: request passes desired intervals/formats for
   the stream parameters and the response returns allowed intervals and
   formats mask that can be used.

Parameters supported by this request/response:
 - formats mask
 - sample rate interval
 - number of channels interval
 - buffer size, interval, frames
 - period size, interval, frames

- *---------------------------------- Responses --------------------------------
+ * Request stream parameter ranges: request intervals and
+ *   masks of supported ranges for stream configuration values.
  *
- * All response packets have the same length (64 octets)
+ *   Sound device configuration for a particular stream is a limited subset
+ *   of the multidimensional configuration available on XenStore, e.g.
+ *   once the frame rate has been selected there is a limited supported range
+ *   for sample rates becomes available (which might be the same set configured
+ *   on XenStore or less). For example, selecting 96kHz sample rate may limit
+ *   number of channels available for such configuration from 4 to 2, etc.
+ *   Thus, each call to XENSND_OP_HW_PARAM_QUERY may reduce configuration
+ *   space making it possible to iteratively get the final stream configuration,
+ *   used in XENSND_OP_OPEN request.
