Re: [Alsa-devel] USB audio devices
Karsten Wiese wrote: We can also vary the exact USB frame time. With UHCI 1.1 USB Hosts there is the SOF Register. It is setable from 0 to 255, the default being 127.

That is about -/+ 1%: More than enough to adjust the USB-Frame rate to let us get 44(44100) or 48 (48000) Sample Frames everyy USB Frame. It really works here already with the us428: The trick is: We first make the USB-Frame longer until we capture 1 Sample Frame more 45 (for 44100). then the USB-Frame is shortened until we capture only 43 Sample Frames for one USB Frame. and so on. If we use a period size of multiples of 44 (for 44100) then : - Latency is almost at its best (only 1/44 less than optimal. - User Prog Scheduling Jitter is minimized. - Alsas keeps constant Period size.

I am _desperately_ trying to convert standard 2 channel audio to Dolby Digital stream in XMMS and pass through instead of passing 2 channel through IEC958 and having to use ESP effect on my external AMP. I see ALSAMIXER has duplication options and send analog to IEC958, which would be perfect, but none of those controls work. :( --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

Hmm, i don't know the OP's answer to this, but i like to ask a very related question: It is possible to create a playback pcm device with the help of the dmix plugin. This way several apps can playback at once - nice. But now what about using two apps that do full duplex at the same time? This is exacly my point. The fact that dmix and dsnoop are half-duplex is where I have a problem. There seems to be no way to allow more than one OSS-compatibility client to share audio in a satisfactory way. Which is to say, you can have two doing playback, or two doing capture, or maybe one each (haven't tried yet), but you can't do two full-duplex, or one full-duplex and one capture or playback. This is a bug in my opinion. It seems to me that this issue is not addressed by anyone, and that's why I started this code change, to allow capture to pass through so that one client can do full-duplex with multiple other clients still able to playback. This is not too much to ask IMHO. Recent discussion of this has made it clear that in the near future Jaroslav and Takashi are planning on implementing better interoperability between dmix and dsnoop. It's not high on the list of priorities because there are already other software mixing apps/deamons that work. It is high on the list of desired features though :) As you have found out the changes required are not superficial but require advanced understanding of ALSA internals. dmix and dsnoop are less than a year old and there are still apps that don't provide correct support for them.

Re: [Alsa-devel] New hardware - New developer / tester
Doug wrote: Hi, My goal is to become ridiculously involved in linux audio, mainly (at least for now) device driver development. I have an EZBus audio device/control surface/mixer, and an EZ8 ADAT I/O card (www.event1.com). My goal was to write an ALSA driver for the EZ8 card and EZbus for use with Ardour/JACK to do 8 track live recording and be a 100% open source band (we are currently using XP / Cubase). The snd-usb-audio works with the EZBus already, and how suprised I was to get sound out of the EZ8 card using the ice1712 driver. There is some noise there, and neither with alsamixer nor envy24control could I get any type of level control. Theres lots that need to be adapted to the EZ8 I think (channel assignments/levels, clock source, sample rate, etc), so thats what I would like to do as I learn device driver programming and linux audio. Right now I'm deep into the Oreilly Linux Device Drivers book, and browsing the ALSA developers docs. So, here are my questions: Is there a process for registering devices in the matrix and determining how 'functional' is enough to be considered 'supported'? Do I just shout loudly, 'EZBus works!' ? :) If you could send an html addition to the appropriate manufacturer that would be helpful. Otherwise just these: manufacturer, card name, chip, module name, needs midi firmware Do any of the existing ice1712 developers have chip documentation I could have? Is it allowed / polite / acceptable for me to tear into the existing ice1712 code and learn from it, then either use code from it to create this driver or add complete EZ8 functionality to the existing driver? Probably best to start with that and ask some questions as you go. I assume this is the list to ask driver specific questions, which I'm sure I will have alot of as I dive into kernel land? yes. I read the home site asking for testers, I have alot of PC hardware at my disposal, do developers just post requests for people to test code as the need arises? There are times when people need testing done. Just monitor this list. Sorry about my generally 'clueless' disposition, but I guess I have to start somewhere :) Welcome aboard. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

Re: [Alsa-devel] Query devices in a non-blocking fashion
If we have a DB of info how would we define the abilities of each device? I assume this info is available in the driver layer because there is a point where ALSA will return false eg. if a card is not able to run at 48000Hz My opinion is that a simple function could be included in alsactl which scans for available devices, makes a list of their abilities. Everyone uses post-insert alsactl restore in the modules.conf file so it would be essentially a non issue from a user perspective.

I have control over the sampling rate of the S/PDIF output of the card as I would expect, however... In the S/PDIF Channel Status Block information there is a portion of Byte 3 that is used to send the intended sampling rate (selectable between three values, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, depending on the arrangement of bits 0-3 in Byte 3. For specific information on this, please see Application Note AN22REV2 from www.crystal.com). It is also possible, using bit 0 of Byte 0, to indicate whether the signal is Professional or Consumer format. Using my present configuration, I do not appear to have control over either of these two variables. For example, even when I am sending a 44.1 kHz signal at a rate of 44.1 kHz (or close enough... it's actually 44.0993, -17 ppm) Byte 3 of the Channel Status Block is saying that the signal is a 48 kHz transmission. Are the VXPocket drivers in ALSA capable of changing these values in the card? The official drivers for Mac OSX allow me to change the Pro/Consumer flag using an application, and the sampling rate indicator changes automatically with the actual sampling rate of the card's output.

Let's say: it becomes much easier for the user to contribute documentation this way.. Also users who don't know what a wiki is will soon learn if links from the doc pages go to it :) I would prefer to have actual data before we make a link.

The extra clicks for nothing make me feel annoyed. 3.] Contrary to my first draft of the TOC i would suggest moving the soundcard matrix to the system maintainers section.

Re: [Alsa-devel] [ANN] hdspmixer-1.1
Using a multiface with original firmware rev. I was using the app last night and it seemed to work well except that today we have only a very long blank track. Testing today with ardour reveals that the mute buttons have no effect on the recorded signal. How do the mute buttons work? I fond it difficult to distinguish between on and off. Why is the default color red? Does that mean they are on by default? IMO the default should be no color and when they are on they should be red. I also missed a control for the headphone output. I also found that aplay could only work at 16 bit. I will update to current cvs soon to check that though. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

[Alsa-devel] USB quattro testing
I have been testing with an intel8x0 running into the quattro while running all the four inputs. Input 3 and 4 started off working but after killing off jack and rm /tmp/jack a few times it has become impossible to get sound out of it with either alsa or jack even though the intel8x0 was still functional. This is the jack comandline as root with lowlatency on. jackd -v -R -a -d alsa -d q4b -r 44100 -p 4096 -n3 Testing with jack only through i/o 3,4 I get a crystal clear sound. The usb-audio driver has lost the ability to read the first two channels completely, replacing them with white noise and the multi or route plugins don't want to play nicely with jack even though this device is sample synced. I tested recording with jackrec and got a lot of audio dropouts while playing. I then used alsaplayer running with the input plugin and that was interesting. It gave the audio stream more of a pumping sound which was also adjustable by the pitch control so I could get a nice warped effect going. It wouldn't stand up to live recording but it could be fun to play with. After rebooting and mounting /tmp instead of /tmp/jack (as well as spending two or three hours trying to get it back before hand). I am currently listening with ams in a direct loop and it sounds the same as alsaplayer input. This is a good recording of what I get using a sine wave through inputs 3,4 recorded with the ams wave output while using 2in,4out. http://www.djcj.org/audio/test/052703-amsrec-4i2o.wav This is with arecord -f cd for inputs 1,2: http://www.djcj.org/audio/test/052703-arec-2a.wav = pcm.quattro { type multi; slaves.a.pcm hw:2,0; slaves.a.channels 2; slaves.b.pcm hw:2,1; slaves.b.channels 2; bindings.0.slave a; bindings.0.channel 0; # left bindings.1.slave a; bindings.1.channel 1; # right bindings.2.slave b; bindings.2.channel 0; # left bindings.3.slave b; bindings.3.channel 1; # right } ctl.quattro { type hw; card 2; } pcm.q4b { type route; slave.pcm quattro; ttable.0.0 1; ttable.1.1 1; ttable.2.2 1; ttable.3.3 1; } ctl.q4b { type hw; card 2; } === -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

[Alsa-devel] User notes online
I have whipped up a page to which displays all the user notes contributions. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/notes-full.php3 It can also be accessed quickly through the main matrix page. I have been feeling slightly guilty that I'm probably the only person who has a full view of what people are contributing to the notes and managed to figure out how to generate a page so y'all can find out these things too. Hopefully this will make things easier for people when they are looking at purchasing new cards/devices too. It should also give developers an idea of which cards are most used. Currently the people who use the via82xx module are the most prolific contributers. Hopefully it doesn't make any problems for the server.

It can run on the same machine as the client only (AFAIK) and it cannot mix multiple client streams into the one device. So I've missed the point of that application -- is there something for which it could be good for? ALSA plugin documentation mentions the 'smix' plugin. But I cannot find any further information nor the source code in the library for that. Is it something which will be introduced it the future ALSA releases? According the doc it is exactly something I've been looking for a long time; pcm device sharing. This has been discussed many times. Currently the only ways to get pcm device sharing, I assume you mean using multiple devices as one virtual device are to write it up in your .asoundrc or use the patch which has been submitted but not applied to jack for this purpose. The former is a little tricky to grok but it has been shown to work. The later requires a bit more of a deeper understanding of jack and coding. There is info in the online docs. Just click on the link in the asoundrc section for your device and the file is explained in depth.

Thomas Charbonnel wrote: You have to understand that software outputs are not directly related to physical outputs. On simpler hardware, software and physical outputs can be considered the same. On the hdsp system, thanks to the internal matrix mixer, software outputs are totally abstracted from physical ones. On the multiface you have 18 software outputs, each of wich can be independently routed to any of the 18 physical outputs. For convenience, the hdsp linux driver's default behaviour is to have a 1:1 routing policy: each software output is by default routed to to corresponding hardware output. So the numid=5 26,26,16384 line says: connect software output 1 (called playback in the above table) to line out left, as the syntax of the call is input_source,output_source,value. Great explanation. I have added it as an editors note on the hdsp page. so it's default is a fifo? i.e software output 26 - analog output 1 software output 27 - analog output 2 Therefore can I do this? numid=5 26,0,16384 numid=5 27,1,16384 numid=5 28,2,16384 numid=5 29,3,16384 numid=5 30,4,16384 numid=5 31,5,16384 numid=5 32,6,16384 numid=5 33,7,16384 Or is that the default setting (except with no volume). Here it looks like you're mixing up the amixer numid parameter number with the hdsp internal channel numbers. Numid 5 is the actual alsa matrix mixer control. Numid 10 is the global line out switch. Numid 26 and 27 are read only, and correspond to the internal peak and rms calculation the card does to provide a 0% CPU metering solution (to be used in the forthcoming HDSPMixer totalmix clone !...) I hope this makes things clearer. Getting there. So we have to tell the control called numid=5 to route the output from software 1 to line out before we can hear it through line out? Can we route multiple software outputs to the same hardware output? eg. numid=5 26,26,16384 numid=5 27,27,16384 numid=5 28,26,16384 numid=5 29,27,16384 numid=5 30,26,16384 numid=5 31,27,16384 numid=5 32,26,16384 numid=5 33,27,16384 Or is that what the .asoundrc is for? -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

Actually I have just yesterday noticed a specific problem with the 24 bit support. Also you should know that the quattro only supports 24_3le which is 24 bits, three bytes. This is contrary to possibly all other pro devices which support 24bits, four bytes or something like that. Meaning that you have to use a special bit depth just for the quattro.

It might be telling that jack hangs here in capture only mode: jackd -d alsa -d quattro1 -C jackd 0.40.0 Copyright 2001-2002 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... quattro1|1024|2|48000|swmon starting engine $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/ info oss sub0 $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/info card: 2 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: CAPTURE id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1 $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/oss $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/ cat: /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/: Is a directory $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/ hw_params info prealloc status sw_params $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/hw_params closed $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/info card: 2 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: CAPTURE id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1 $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/prealloc 64 $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/status closed $ cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0c/sub0/sw_params closed How embarrasing.

Please, test and report problems. I have updated and now when I disconnect the device it will not register on reconnect. No connection found messages are written to dmesg an it doesn't appear in /proc/asound/cards. However it doesn't hang or cause an oops either :) This is with the maudio quattro. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

Jaroslav Kysela wrote: Note that you'll have to terminate all applications using that soundcard before you'll try to reconnect the device again. In next code, hopefully the applications will be somehow terminated to make the cleanup process automatic. Ok. That's the probable cause as I am having problems with jack not releasing the device. It seems that hotpluging out is a tricky issue because we have to decide whether the application/s that are using the device should also be terminated. Is it possible to transparently swap snd-usb-audio with snd-dummy if it has been installed? That could be a secondary default if people would prefer their apps do not automatically segv. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

[Alsa-devel] kernel oops - snd-usb-audio
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.0rc6. Compiled on Nov 15 2002 for kernel 2.4.19 with versioned symbols. I got an oops while playing with jackd. This probably happened while trying to do duplex with all four channels at 44100hz. I'm trying to figure out how to get capture working for four channels instead of two. I was able to get jack to do playback only with them although I haven't tested to see if the streams are independant or copied. Last time I tried they were copied. ie. channel 12=34 respectively. Here's the oops: dmesg: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/usb/usbaudio.c:1037: 4:8:4: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x86 ALSA ../alsa-kernel/usb/usbaudio.c:1037: 4:8:4: cannot set freq 44100 to ep 0x86 . . . .

I already mentioned this on the list but got no answer. I succesfully tested the matrix mixer, using both amixer and the alsa mixer api.
