commit.
1) sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.h
sys/dev/sound/pcm/channel.c
* Be more specific: SD_F_SOFTVOL -> SD_F_SOFTPCMVOL
2) sys/dev/sound/pcm/mixer.[ch]
* Implement
mix_setparentchild()
mix_setrealdev()
mix_getparent()
mix_getchild()
The purpose of these functions is implement relative volume
adjustment, such as to tie two or more mixer device into a
single logical device. Usefull for the upcoming HDA driver
and few AC97 codec (such as AD1981B) where the master volume
"vol" need to be implemented using this logical manner.
3) sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97_patch.[ch]
* Patch for AD1981B codec to enable (automuting) headphone jack sense.
4) sys/dev/sound/pcm/ac97.c
* Implement proper logical master volume for AD9181B codec
through various mix_set{parentchild,realdev}(). Tie both
"ogain" (headphone volume) and "phone" (speaker/lineout) to
a logical "vol".
5) sys/dev/sound/pcm/usb/uaudio_pcm.c
* ditto, for "vol" -> { "pcm" }.

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).

is interaction between in-kernel sound buffer handling and hardware.
With small buffer, there are times when both harwdare reads and
kernel writes to the same buffer (it is only visible on slow machines, i
think). I'm digging in channel.c and buffer.c to find a solution that
allow use of large hardware buffers without sound lags - hardware can
handle buffers up to 32Mb."

- fix "No sound in KDE":
The problem is related to the implementation of Envy24(1712) hardware
mixer support in the driver. Envy24(1712) has very precise 36bit wide
hardware mixer, which is superior that vchans (software sound mixer in
the kernel). The driver supports Envy24(1712) hardware mixer, so up to
10 channels (5 stereo pairs) can be playback simultaneously.
However, there are problems with the implementation of Envy24(1712)
hardware mixer support in the driver, one of them is the problem with
"no sound in KDE":
When playing back several channels simultaneously and
stoping one of the channels, sound starts to stutter and
plays at very low speed.
Another problem is:
Playing back simultaneously more than one 24bit/32bit
sound file or 16bit sound file and 24bit/32bit sound
file doesn't work as expected.

from a semantic point of view, but I notified the author of the driver
for confirmation. So far it at least fixes the build and should only
lead to not identifying or wrongly identifying a soundcard in the worst
case.
sound cards with optional pseudo-multichannel playback.
It's based on snd_emu10k1 sound driver. Single channel version is available
from audio/emu10kx port since some time.
The two new ALSA header files (GPLed), which contain Audigy 2 ("p16v") and
Audigy 2 Value ("p17v") specific interfaces, are latest versions from ALSA
Mercurial repository.
This is not connected to the build yet.

latest version from Mercurial repository. It brings definition of some
additional Audigy 2 / Audigy 2 Value registers.
- Use new #defines from ALSA emu10k1.h
- Remove unused include files:
+ emu10k1-ac97.h was imported from ALSA and never used,
+ emu10k1.h was imported from Creative Linux emu10k1 driver, but only
AUDIGY_CODEBASE was used from it.

- 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.

I got no response from the author, but since the driver is BSD licensed
I don't think he will complain. :-)

This is old code, it's not maintained since 2003. We also don't have a
maintainer for this! Yuriy Tsibizov took it and uses it in his emu10kx
driver. Since the emu10kx driver will enter the tree "soon" (some bugs
have to be fixed after Yuriy return from his holidays), I add it here
already.
This also contains some changes to emu10k1 and cmi, so if you're lucky,
you can now make some kind of use of midi with those soundcards.
To all those poor souls which don't have such a card: feel free to send
patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
To those which miss a specific feature in the midi code: feel free to
submit patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
Oh, did I already told that it would be nice if someone would take care
of it? Maintainer with midi equipment wanted! :-)
If you get LOR's, submit a PR and notify multimedia@ please. If you get
panics, submit a PR with a backtrace (compile the sound system into your
kernel instead of using modules in this case) and notify multimedia@

A slight difference of this chip from its previous siblings is that
it need a gentle "wake up" on every (full) DMA buffer completion to
avoid stalled interrupt handler.

--------------------
- 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.
- [1] Make the driver friendly towards kernel without PREEMPTION.
Use msleep(9) instead of simple unlock-check_variable-lock mechanisme
since the later not really effective in non-preemptible kernel
(especially during codec detection routine).
- Free most driver resources in a sane manner to avoid possible
double free and panics especially during device detach and codec
detection failure.
