this introduces a new buffering mechanism which results in dramatic
simplification of the channel manager.
as several structures have changed, we take the opportunity to move their
definitions into the source files where they are used, make them private and
de-typedef them.
the sound drivers are updated to use snd_setup_intr instead of
bus_setup_intr, and to comply with the de-typedefed structures.
the ac97, mixer and channel layers have been updated with finegrained
locking, as have some drivers- not all though. the rest will follow soon.
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.
