- Implement scoring mechanisme to select best format for conversion.
This is actually part of newer format chaining procedures which
will be commited someday. Confusion during chaining process solved
by this scoring since it will try to reduce list of from/to formats
to a single, best format.

feeder_fmt.c:

feeder_rate.c:
- Force buffer / bytes allignment. Unaligned buffer may cause
panics during recording on pure 32bit sample format if it
involves feeder_rate as part of feeders chain.
Tested on: ATI IXP, force 32bit recording.

This should reduce huge playback / recording latency for
applications that try to act smarter and manage their own
buffering (XMMS, Skype, etc.).
Note to Skype + via8xxx users: Remove previous hackish
"hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled" from kernel hint and see
whether this changes cure all those annoying sound issues.
This one simply tries to simplify the logic to select the
buffer sizes. I am not sure it is necessary but the code
seems a bit more readable to me. And at least i have tried
to document how the buffer sizes are computed.
Thanks to luigi for deciphering one of the most cryptic part of
sound driver.

In SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT, if you specify both read and
write channels, the existing code first acts on the
read channel, but as a side effect it updates the
arguments (maxfrags, fragsz) passed by the caller according
to acceptable values for the read channel, and then uses the
modified values to act on the write channel.
The problem with this approach is that, given a
(maxfrags, fragsz) user-specified value, the actual
values computed by the read and write channels may differ:
e.g. the read channel might want to allocate more fragments
than what the user specified because it has no side-effects
on the delay and it helps in case of slow readers,
whereas the write channel needs to use as few fragments
as possible to keep the audio latency low (very important
with telephony apps).
This patch stores the values computed by the read channel
into temproary variables so the write channel will use
the actual arguments of the ioctl.
This patch is very helpful with telephony apps such as asterisk.

- Don't try to set the playback or recording format to 0. Previously,
issuing an AIOSFMT ioctl with an all-zeroes snd_chan_param would
trigger a KASSERT in chn_fmtchain(); I'm unsure about the effects on
a kernel without INVARIANTS. After this commit, issuing AIOSFMT with
an all-zeroes snd_chan_param is equivalent to issuing AIOGFMT.

sampling rate:
- Improve vchan chn_setspeed() strategy. Try to avoid FEEDER_RATE
on parent channel if the requested value is not supported
by the hardware.
- Fix vchan default speed calculation. In any case, vchan should
rely on parent bufsoft speed instead of bufhard since it is
possible that the entire feeder chain might involve FEEDER_RATE.
This is possible under extreme, rare condition if the above
chn_setspeed() strategy failed.

Queue insertion/removal occur during
1) driver loading (which is pretty much single thread /
sequential) or unloading (mutex protected, bail out if there is
any channel with refcount > 0 or busy).
2) vchan_create()/destroy(), (which is *sigh* quite complicated), but
somehow protected by 'master'/parent channel mutex. Other
thread cannot add/remove vchan (or even continue traversing
that queue) unless it can acquire parent channel mutex.

better 24bit seeking (mplayer, others).
* Improve format chain building, it's now possible to record something

converters or to higher sampling rate. This also gains another feature,
like doing vchan mixing on non s16le soundcard such as sb8.

that would cause other major rewrite within various places too!).
As far as its robustness can be guaranteed, leave it as is.

Implementors of the event can ignore it if they're not interested,
and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third

1. Support wide range sampling rate, as low as 1hz up to int32 max
(which is, insane) through new feeder_rate, multiple precisions
choice (32/64 bit converter). This is indeed, quite insane, but it
does give us more room and flexibility. Plenty sysctl options to
adjust resampling characteristics.
2. Support 24/32 bit pcm format conversion through new, much improved,
simplified and optimized feeder_fmt.
Changes:
1. buffer.c / dsp.c / sound.h
* Support for 24/32 AFMT.
2. feeder_rate.c
* New implementation of sampling rate conversion with 32/64 bit
precision, 1 - int32max hz (which is, ridiculous, yet very
addictive). Much improved / smarter buffer management to not
cause any missing samples at the end of conversion process
* Tunable sysctls for various aspect:
hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemin - minimum allowable sampling rate
(default to 4000)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemax - maximum allowable sampling rate
(default to 1102500)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_buffersize - conversion buffer size
(default to 8192)
hw.snd.feeder_rate_scaling - scaling / conversion method
(please refer to the source for explaination). Default to
previous implementation type.
3. feeder_fmt.c / sound.h
* New implementation, support for 24/32bit conversion, optimized,
and simplified. Few routines has been removed (8 to xlaw, 16 to
8). It just doesn't make sense.
4. channel.c
* Support for 24/32 AFMT
* Fix wrong xruns increment, causing incorrect underruns statistic
while using vchans.
5. vchan.c
* Support for 24/32 AFMT
* Proper speed / rate detection especially for fixed rate ac97.
User can override it using kernel hint:
hint.pcm.<unit>.vchanrate="xxxx".
Notes / Issues:
* Virtual Channels (vchans)
Enabling vchans can really, really help to solve overrun
issues. This is quite understandable, because it operates
entirely within its own buffering system without relying on
hardware interrupt / state. Even if you don't need vchan,
just enable single channel can help much. Few soundcards
(notably via8233x, sblive, possibly others) have their own
hardware multi channel, and this is unfortunately beyond
vchan reachability.
* The arrival of 24/32 also come with a price. Applications
that can do 24/32bit playback need to be recompiled (notably
mplayer). Use (recompiled) mplayer to experiment / test /
debug this various format using -af format=fmt. Note that
24bit seeking in mplayer is a little bit broken, sometimes
can cause silence or loud static noise. Pausing / seeking
few times can solve this problem.
You don't have to rebuild world entirely for this. Simply
copy /usr/src/sys/sys/soundcard.h to
/usr/include/sys/soundcard.h would suffice. Few drivers also
need recompilation, and this can be done via
/usr/src/sys/modules/sound/.
Support for 24bit hardware playback is beyond the scope of
this changes. That would require spessific hardware driver
changes.
* Don't expect playing 9999999999hz is a wise decision. Be
reasonable. The new feeder_rate implemention provide
flexibility, not insanity. You can easily chew up your CPU
with this kind of mind instability. Please use proper
mosquito repellent device for this obvious cracked brain
attempt. As for testing purposes, you can use (again)
mplayer to generate / play with different sampling rate. Use
something like "mplayer -af resample=192000:0:0 <files>".

Affects to people WITH an AD1888 codec, the system will output to the port
labeled "speaker" instead of microphone. System will work the same in
multiple operating systems.
If people are currently using their systems with this codec they will need
to swap their output ports.
I have _not_ checked audio input or line input (basically, I have checked
nothing other than line-out).
I believe this is an appropriate change, it makes us consistent with
documentation, and other operating systems. Furthermore, this feature
(playing) is the vast majority of sound activities, so if this makes is
right for playback and wrong for recording... playback is more important,
and we can fix recoding in the future without worries of screwing people
again in the future (since we'll be "right" on the playback).

holds sndstat_lock across a call to uiomove(), which is not legal
to do with a mutex because of the possibility that the data transfer
could sleep because of a page fault. It is not possible to just
unlock the mutex for the uiomove() call without introducing another
locking mechanism to prevent the body of sndstat_read() from being
re-entered. Converting sndstat_lock to an sx lock is the least
complicated change.
This is a candidate for RELENG_5.
