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!
Obtained from: major hints from ALSA
(I had been busy for my own research activity until the last weekend)
Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3
synth on an AWE card works.
TODO:
MSS/PCI bridge drivers
Midi-tty interface to support general serial devices
Modules
motherboards that use YMF740's. It has a strange subvendor and subdevice
ID and requires a disturbingly long delay after the ac97 codec init.
Cameron hasn't had this driver tested on another 740 yet, so we don't know
if this is a quirk of all 740's, or if its just something about the codec
that Intel used.
conf/files
i don't seem to be clearing the cache right resulting in a short initial
burst of noise, despite doing the same as creative and alsa. i'm committing
now so more eyes can pore over the code.
* add a callback for initialising the mixer interface
* support ac97 2.1 variable rate audio feature
fix ac97-using drivers for the above
add suspend/resume support for neomagic
