[PATCH v3 1/2] Add rawmidi framing API

David Henningsson coding at diwic.se
Tue Aug 17 16:21:12 CEST 2021


Optionally, incoming rawmidi bytes can be put inside a frame of type snd_rawmidi_framing_tstamp_t.
The main current benefit is that can enable in-kernel timestamping of incoming bytes, and that
timestamp is likely to be more precise than what userspace can offer.

Tstamp type framing requires a kernel >= 5.14 and a buffer size that is a multiple of
sizeof(snd_rawmidi_framing_tstamp_t). It is only available on input streams.
