30-bit like the reset of the controllers supported by this driver.
Actually ALi M5451 can be setup up to generate 32-bit addresses by
setting the 31st bit via the accompanying ISA bridge, which allows
it to work in sparc64 machines whose IOMMU require at least 32-bit
DMA. Even though other architectures would also benefit from 32-bit
DMA, enabling this bit is limited to sparc64 as bus_dma(9) doesn't
generally guarantee that a low address of BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR_32BIT
results in a buffer in the 32-bit range.
- According to Tatsuo YOKOGAWA's ali(4), the the DMA transfer size of
ALi M5451 is fixed to 64k and in fact using the default size of 4k
- The 4DWAVE DX and NX require the recording buffer to be 8-byte
aligned so adjust the bus_dma_tag_create(9) accordingly.
- Unlike the rest of the controllers supported by this driver, the
ALi M5451 only has 32 hardware channels instead of 64 so limit the
loop in tr_intr() accordingly. [1]

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

This dramatically pushing 99.9% interpolations and quantizations
error _below_ -180dB on 32bit dynamic range, resulting extremely
high quality conversion.
- Use BSPLINE interpolator for filter oversampling factor greater or
equal than 64 (log2 6).

This cause dramatic effect in overall precision and conversion quality
by pushing down most aliasing artifacts around -180 dB.
Spectrogram analysis/comparison:

- Guard against possible 64bit overflow during accumulation process by
slightly normalize and saturate sample and coefficient multiplication,
possible during extreme 32bit downsampling (eg. 380KHz -> 8KHz) with
custom preset that require more than ~7000 taps filter (which is
overkill).
- Add knobs through FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS to set dynamic range of filter
coefficients/accumulator and prefered polynomial interpolator:
COEFFICIENT_BIT:X
(where 1 <= X <= 30, default: 30)
ACCUMULATOR_BIT:X
(where 32 <= X <=64, default: 58)
INTERPOLATOR:I
(where I = ZOH, LINEAR, QUADRATIC, HERMITE, BSPLINE,
OPT32X, OPT16X, OPT8X, OPT4X, OPT2X)

Note that this does not actually enable full-range i/o requests for
64 architectures, and is done now to update KBI only.

- honor parent DMA tag limitations, as man page requires,
- allow data buffer to be allocated within full 64bit address range, when
support is announced by hardware,
- add quirk, disabling 64bit addresses for broken chips, use it for MCP78.
FEEDER_RATE_PRESET "OVERSAMPLING_FACTOR:X .. .." where
X = log2(oversampling factor).
- Lower down default filter oversampling factor from 128
(log2 = 7) to 32 (log2 = 5), saving worth of 80 Kb.
The use of better polynomial interpolator will raise
its conversion quality/accuracy to match (or slightly
better) with previous settings.
- Bump driver version.
coefficients quality:
- Linear interpolator for oversampling factor larger and equal
than 4096 (log2 = 12).
- Quadratic interpolator for oversampling factor larger and equal
than 256 (log2 = 8).
Default oversampling factor (128 ~ log2 = 7) will use OPT32X, which
provides better accuracy.

Summary of changes includes:
1 Volume Per-Channel (vpc). Provides private / standalone volume control
unique per-stream pcm channel without touching master volume / pcm.
Applications can directly use SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]VOL, or for
backwards compatibility, SOUND_MIXER_PCM through the opened dsp device
instead of /dev/mixer. Special "bypass" mode is enabled through
/dev/mixer which will automatically detect if the adjustment is made
through /dev/mixer and forward its request to this private volume
controller. Changes to this volume object will not interfere with
other channels.
Requirements:
- SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]_VOL are newer ioctls (OSSv4) which
require specific application modifications (preferred).
- No modifications required for using bypass mode, so applications
like mplayer or xmms should work out of the box.
Kernel hints:
- hint.pcm.%d.vpc (0 = disable vpc).
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.vpc_mixer_bypass (default: 1). Enable or disable /dev/mixer
bypass mode.
- hw.snd.vpc_autoreset (default: 1). By default, closing/opening
/dev/dsp will reset the volume back to 0 db gain/attenuation.
Setting this to 0 will preserve its settings across device
closing/opening.
- hw.snd.vpc_reset (default: 0). Panic/reset button to reset all
volume settings back to 0 db.
- hw.snd.vpc_0db (default: 45). 0 db relative to linear mixer value.
2 High quality fixed-point Bandlimited SINC sampling rate converter,
based on Julius O'Smith's Digital Audio Resampling -
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/. It includes a filter design
script written in awk (the clumsiest joke I've ever written)
- 100% 32bit fixed-point, 64bit accumulator.
- Possibly among the fastest (if not fastest) of its kind.
- Resampling quality is tunable, either runtime or during kernel
compilation (FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS).
- Quality can be further customized during kernel compilation by
defining FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.feeder_rate_quality.
0 - Zero-order Hold (ZOH). Fastest, bad quality.
1 - Linear Interpolation (LINEAR). Slightly slower than ZOH,
better quality but still does not eliminate aliasing.
2 - (and above) - Sinc Interpolation(SINC). Best quality. SINC
quality always start from 2 and above.
Rough quality comparisons:
- http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/
3 Bit-perfect mode. Bypasses all feeder/dsp effects. Pure sound will be
directly fed into the hardware.
4 Parametric (compile time) Software Equalizer (Bass/Treble mixer). Can
be customized by defining FEEDER_EQ_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
5 Transparent/Adaptive Virtual Channel. Now you don't have to disable
vchans in order to make digital format pass through. It also makes
vchans more dynamic by choosing a better format/rate among all the
concurrent streams, which means that dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat/rate
becomes sort of optional.
6 Exclusive Stream, with special open() mode O_EXCL. This will "mute"
other concurrent vchan streams and only allow a single channel with
O_EXCL set to keep producing sound.
Other Changes:
* most feeder_* stuffs are compilable in userland. Let's not
speculate whether we should go all out for it (save that for
FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE).
* kobj signature fixups, thanks to Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org>
* pull out channel mixing logic out of vchan.c and create its own
feeder_mixer for world justice.
* various refactoring here and there, for good or bad.
* activation of few more OSSv4 ioctls() (see [1] above).
* opt_snd.h for possible compile time configuration:
(mostly for debugging purposes, don't try these at home)

several reports that it should be removed to make microphones work. If
this quirk is still required for some systems then they should be identified
and specified explicitly.
