modify chn_setblocksize() to pick a default soft-blocksize appropriate to the
sample rate and format in use. it will aim for a power of two size small
enough to generate block sizes of at most 20ms. it will also set the
hard-blocksize taking into account rate/format conversions in use.
update drivers to implement setblocksize correctly:
updated, tested: sb16, emu10k1, maestro, solo
updated, untested: ad1816, ess, mss, sb8, csa
not updated: ds1, es137x, fm801, neomagic, t4dwave, via82c686
i lack hardware to test: ad1816, csa, fm801, neomagic
others will be updated/tested in the next few days.
this gives us several benefits, including:
* easier extensibility- new optional methods can be added to
ac97/mixer/channel classes without having to fixup every driver.
* forward compatibility for drivers, provided no new mandatory methods are
added.
change channel interface - kobj implementation coming soonish
make pcm_makelinks not panic if modular
add pcm_unregister()
these changes support newpcm kld unloading, but this is only implemented
by ds1.c
modify driver capability reporting format to list every audio format
seperately- required for above and because we could not previously indicate
that mono was unsupported.
there should be no functional impact.
in bogus hwptr warnings. Further comments sought on -hackers
were not forthcoming. I can only hope that calling DELAY() like
this doesn't cause any heartburn.
position, channel 1's dma position register must be quiescent. So
the driver will spl, pause the DMA, delay a bit and hold as still as
possible while snapping the picture.
I'm sure there HAS to be a better way to do this, but if there is, it's
not documented.
So far as I can tell, this fixes recording, which means the Solo is open
for business.
2. Offer half duplex with both playback and record on channel 1 or
full duplex with playback always on channel 2 as a compile-time option.
3. 16 bit record output is byte swapped for some dumb reason. Report the _BE
AFMTs for recording.
16 bit samples have some sort of choppiness, the nature of which
is not completely clear, but it clearly has something to do with
dma buffer synchronization. But at least channel 1 makes noise now.
appears to be the correct length, but quality of output has not yet
been tested. Also, full duplex audio (that is, playback on channel 1)
does not yet work. Two constants and I am there!
