- Disable stray buffer management, since sample size aligned buffering
are pretty much guaranteed through out the entire feeder_* chain
processes.
- Few style(9) cleanups.
channel.c/channel_if.m:
- Macros cleanups, prefer inlined min() over MIN().
- Rework chn_read()/chn_write() for better dead interrupt detection
policy. Reduce scheduling overhead by doing pure 5 seconds sleep
before giving up, instead of several cycle of brute micro sleeping.
- Avoid calling wakeup_one() for non-sleeping channel (for example,
vchan parent channel).
- EWOULDBLOCK -> EAGAIN.
- Fix possible divide-by-zero panic on chn_sync().
- Re-enforce ^2 blocksize policy, since there are too many broken
userland apps that blindly assume it without even trying to do
serious calculations.
- New channel method - CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS(), a refined version of
CHANNEL_SETBLOCKSIZE(). It accept _both_ blocksize and blockcount
arguments, so the driver internals will have better hints for
buffering and timing calculations.
- Hook FEEDER_SWAPLR into feederchain building process.
feeder_fmt.c:
- Unified version of various filters, avoiding duplications.
- malloc()less feeder_fmt. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. For cases such as converting
from stereo to mono or reducing bit depth where input data is larger
than output, cycle remaining available free space until it has been
exhausted and start kicking 8 bytes reservoir space from there to
complete the remaining requested count.
- Introduce FEEDER_SWAPLR. Few super broken hardwares (found on several
extremely cheap uaudio stick, possibly others) mistakenly wired left
and right channels wrongly, screwing output or input.
- Rearrange FEEDER_* constants starting from 0 to 31, so the future
additions will be much easier and consistent.

malloc()less feeder_vchan. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Reduce mixing overhead by
doing direct copy on first channel. Mixing process will begin starting
from second channel onwards.
malloc()less feeder_volume. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Increase resolution from 6bit
to PCM_FXSHIFT (8bit) for better resolution and finer volume changes.
- Convert sx lock to plain mutex. Since the access of /dev/sndstat
is pretty much exclusive and protected by toggling sndstat_isopen,
plain mutex is more than enough.

allocated buffer through sndbuf_destroy() in case we forgot to call
sndbuf_free(). For a managed buffer (mostly hw specific managed buffer),
either provide CHANNEL_FREE() method with appropriate return value to
invoke semi-automatic sndbuf_free() or simply do it on their own. If
everything is failed, sndbuf_destroy() will come to the rescue as a

General
-------
- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
* Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
endian.
* Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
* Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.
- Low latency operation
* Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
to what commercial 4front driver do.
* Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
result long delay.
* Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
DIY:

2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
"for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
- there should be no "perceivable" differences.
Double close for PR kern/31445.
CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter

The goal was to sync with the OSSv4 API 4Front Technologies uses in their
proprietary OSS driver. This was successful as far as possible. The part
of the API which is stable is implemented, for the rest there are some
stubs already.
New system ioctls:
- SNDCTL_SYSINFO - obtain audio system info (version, # of audio/midi/
mixer devices, etc.)
- SNDCTL_AUDIOINFO - fetch details about a specific audio device
- SNDCTL_MIXERINFO - fetch details about a specific mixer device
New audio ioctls:
- Sync groups (SNDCTL_DSP_SYNCGROUP/SNDCTL_DSP_SYNCSTART) which allow
triggered playback/recording on multiple devices (even across processes
simultaneously).
- Peak meters (SNDCTL_DSP_GETIPEAKS/SNDCTL_DSP_GETOPEAKS) - can query
audio drivers for peak levels (needs driver support, disabled for now).
- Per channel playback/recording levels -
SNDCTL_DSP_{GET,SET}{PLAY,REC}VOL. Note that these are still in name
only, just wrapping around the AC97-style mixer at the moment. The next
step is to push them down to the drivers.
Audio ioctls still under development by 4Front (for which stubs may exist
in this commit):
- SNDCTL_GETNAME, SNDCTL_{GET,SET}{SONG,LABEL}
- SNDCTL_DSP_{GET,SET}_CHNORDER
- SNDCTL_MIX_ENUMINFO, SNDCTL_MIX_EXTINFO - (might be documented enough in
the OSS releases to work on this. These ioctls cover the cool "twiddle
any knob on your card" features.)
Missing:
- SNDCTL_DSP_COOKEDMODE -- this ioctl is used to give applications direct
access to a card's buffers, bypassing the feeder architecture. It's
a toughy -- "someone" needs to decide :
(a) if this is desireable, and (b) if it's reasonably feasible.
Updates for driver writers:
So far, only two routines to the channel class (in channel_if.m) are added.
One is for fetching a list of discrete supported playback/recording rates
of a channel, and the other is for fetching peak level info (useful for
drawing peak meters). Interested parties may want to help pushing down
SNDCTL_DSP_{GET,SET}{PLAY,REC}VOL into the drivers.
To use the new stuff you need to rebuild the sound drivers or your kernel
(depending on if you use modules or not) and to install soundcard.h (a
buildworld/installworld handles this).

and the nice license of their soundcard.h.
- Enable 4 automatic vchan's by default.
- Add some comments which provide ides/questions for improvement.
- Prefix some temporary sysctl's with an underscore to denote that it is not
an official API but a workaround until the real solution is implemented.
--------------------
- Seal the fate of long standing memory leak (4 years, 7 months) during
pcm_unregister(). While destroying cdevs, scan / detect possible
children and free its SLIST placeholder properly.
- Optimize channel allocation / numbering even further. Do brute cyclic
checking only if the channel numbering screwed.
- Mega vchan create/destroy cleanup:
o Implement pcm_setvchans() so everybody can use it freely instead
of implementing their own, be it through sysctl or channel auto
allocation.
o Increase vchan creation/destruction resiliency:
+ it's possible to increase/decrease total vchans even during
busy playback/recording. Busy channel will be left alone, untouched.
Abusive test sample:
# play whatever...
#
while : ; do
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=1
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=10
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=100
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=200
done
# Play something else, leave above loop running frantically.
+ Seal another 4 years old bug where it is possible to destroy (virtual)
channel even when its cdevs being referenced by other process.
The "First Come First Served" nature of dsp_clone() is the main
culprit of this issue, and usually manifest itself as dangling
channel <-> process association. Ensure that all of its cdevs
are free from being referenced before destroying it (through
ORPHAN_CDEVT() macross).
All these fixes (including previous fixes) will be MFCed, later.
to avoid possible device unregister race (impossible to reproduce, yet
possible).
- Extra sanity check to ensure proper parent channel is being selected.
- Reset parent channel once all of its children gone.
- Determine open direction using 'flags', not 'mode'. This bug exist since
past 4 years.
- Don't allow opening the same device twice, be it in a same or different
direction.
- O_RDWR is allowed, provided that it is done by a single open (for example
by mixer(8)) and the underlying hardware support true full-duplex operation.
- Do various paranoid checking in case other process/thread trying to hijack
the same device twice (or more).

especially for vchans. It turns out that channel numbering always depend
on d->devcount counter (which keep increasing), while PCMMKMINOR() truncate
everything to 8bit length. At some point the truncation cause the newly
created character device overlapped with the existence one, causing erratic
overall system behaviour and panic. Easily reproduce with something like:
(Luckily, only root can reproduce this)
while : ; do
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=200
sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=100
done
- Enforce channel/chardev numbering within 8bit boundary. Return E2BIG
if necessary.
- Traverse d->channels SLIST and try to reclaim "free" counter during channel
creation. Don't rely on d->devcount at all.
- Destroy vchans in reverse order.
Anyway, this is not the fault of vchans. It is just that vchans are so cute
and begging to be abused ;) . Don't blame her.
Old, hidden bugs.. sigh..
