'chancount' never got up to equaling 'maxchans'. As a result,
pcm_makelinks() was never called, and one always had to set the sysctl to
get the /dev/mixer and other symlinks generated in the DEVFS case. Instead,
change the test in pcm_addchan() to call pcm_makelinks() after the first
channel is initialized, since the aliases are linked to channel 0.

- The mixer_hwmute() function can be called when a soundcard receives a
mute request.
- The mixer_hwstep() function can be used to adjust the volume of one or
both channels.
- The 'hw.snd.hwvol_step' sysctl determines the amount that mixer_hwstep()
adjusts the volume by on each call.
- The 'hw.snd.hwvol_mixer' sysctl specifies the mixer device to adjust the
volume on for both functions. The values used correspond to the
SOUNDCARD_MIXER_* constants.
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.
opens if the reference count is not decremented on close.
Note that this may result in the reference count being corrupted
on full duplex devices (due to mismatching opens/closes), but the
code doesn't use the reference count for anything on full duplex
devices.
(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.
