For a slightly thorough explaination, please refer to
[1] http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/SOUND_4.TXT.html .
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:

- make usb2_power_mask_t 16-bit
- remove "usb2_config_sub" structure from "usb2_config". To compensate for this
"usb2_config" has a new field called "usb_mode" which select for which mode
the current xfer entry is active. Options are: a) Device mode only b) Host

the following sed script: "s/\.mh\././g".
- the standard packet size table in "usb_transfer.c" is now a function, hence
the code for the function uses less memory than the table itself.

This commit includes a more or less complete rewrite of the *BSD USB
stack, including Host Controller and Device Controller drivers and
updating all existing USB drivers to use the new USB API:
1) A brief feature list:
- A new and mutex enabled USB API.
- Many USB drivers are now running Giant free.
- Linux USB kernel compatibility layer.
- New UGEN backend and libusb library, finally solves the "driver
unloading" problem. The new BSD licensed libusb20 library is fully
compatible with libusb-0.1.12 from sourceforge.
- New "usbconfig" utility, for easy configuration of USB.
- Full support for Split transactions, which means you can use your
full speed USB audio device on a high speed USB HUB.
- Full support for HS ISOC transactions, which makes writing drivers
for various HS webcams possible, for example.
- Full support for USB on embedded platforms, mostly cache flushing
and buffer invalidating stuff.
- Safer parsing of USB descriptors.
- Autodetect of annoying USB install disks.
- Support for USB device side mode, also called USB gadget mode,
using the same API like the USB host side. In other words the new
USB stack is symmetric with regard to host and device side.
- Support for USB transfers like I/O vectors, means more throughput
and less interrupts.
- ... see the FreeBSD quarterly status reports under "USB project"
2) To enable the driver in the default kernel build:
2.a) Remove all existing USB device options from your kernel config
file.
2.b) Add the following USB device options to your kernel configuration
file:
# USB core support
device usb2_core
# USB controller support
device usb2_controller
device usb2_controller_ehci
device usb2_controller_ohci
device usb2_controller_uhci
# USB mass storage support

device usb2_serial_foma
device usb2_serial_ftdi
device usb2_serial_gensa
device usb2_serial_ipaq
device usb2_serial_lpt
device usb2_serial_mct
device usb2_serial_modem
device usb2_serial_moscom
device usb2_serial_plcom
device usb2_serial_visor
device usb2_serial_vscom
# USB bluetooth support
device usb2_bluetooth
device usb2_bluetooth_ng
# USB input device support
device usb2_input
device usb2_input_hid
device usb2_input_kbd
device usb2_input_ms
# USB sound and MIDI device support
device usb2_sound
2) To enable the driver at runtime:
2.a) Unload all existing USB modules. If USB is compiled into the
kernel then you might have to build a new kernel.
2.b) Load the "usb2_xxx.ko" modules under /boot/kernel having the same
base name like the kernel device option.

with several points unappropriate for the present parser. This patch
disables input-to-output analog monitoring but instead fixes recording.
Tested by Tobias Grosser on ThinkPad T61p.
After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

Left only parts surely required for basic troubleshooting and configuration
purposes. There is still very long output, but further shrinking makes it
less informative.
Original debugging can be enabled with hw.snd.verbose=4.
Because of using more clear and same time more functional codec parser
new driver is able to handle more codecs, use them better then before and
without most of previous quirks. All of tested codecs itself manage playback,
record, input mixing and monitoring quite fine. In all of investigated
trouble cases problem was found or in nonstandard codec usage or incorrect
codec configuration made by BIOS. Most of that cases could be fixed using
device hints, some of which are already included to the driver.
New driver supports multiple codecs per HDA bus, multiple audio function
groups per codec and multiple logical sound devices per audio function group.
So don't worry when you get several PCM devices instead of one, it is normal.
It is usual situation with powerful codecs to provide, for example, 3 PCM
devices: one for 7.1 playback and main recording, one for headset and one
for digital SPDIF I/O.
New driver implements Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) much better then
previous one. Most information about recommended codec usage now taken from
the codec configuration registers initialized by BIOS. User may alter that
configuration using device hints to reconfigure logical audio devices to
his needs in a very broad range up to the limits of the codec functionality.
New driver supports digital PCM playback and AC3 pass-through. I am not sure
about completeness of this implementation, but I have several success stories
including my own. Vchans subsystem does not support AC3 pass-through so it
had to be disabled for that devices at this moment.
New driver is ready for multichannel playback, but until our OSS is unable
to use this it will just duplicate same stereo stream into all channel
pairs.
New driver supports suspend/resume. I am unable to really test this part
myself, but I have got several success stories.
Driver has very informative verbose boot messages. So if you have any
questions or problems - enable and read them first.

There's no real problem with including <sys/tty.h> here, even with
MPSAFE TTY, but <sys/tty.h> is something that should be used by the TTY
layer, its driver and code that integrated it with the process tree.

Welcome to Virtual **Record** Channels (vrec, rec vchans, vchans for
recording, Rec-Chan, you decide), the ultimate solutions for your
nagging O_RDWR full-duplex wannabe (note: flash plugins) monopolizing
single record channel causing EBUSY. Vrec works exactly like Vchans
(or, should I rename it to "Vplay" :) , except that it operates on the
opposite direction (recording). Up to 256 vrecs (like vchans) are
possible.
Notes:
* Relocate dev.pcm.%d.{vchans,vchanformat,vchanrate} to each of its
respective node/direction:
dev.pcm.%d.play.* for "play" (cdev = dsp%d.vp%d)
dev.pcm.%d.rec.* for "record" (cdev = dsp%d.vr%d)
* Don't expect that it will magically give you ability to split
"recording source" (eg: 1 channel for cdrom, 1 channel for mic,
etc). Just admit that you only have a *single* recording source /
channel. Please bug your hardware vendor instead :)
- Bump maxautovchans from 4 to 16. For a full-fledged multimedia
desktop/workstation with too many soundservers installed (esound,
artsd, jackd, pulse/polypaudio, ding-dong pling plong mudkip fuh fuh,
etc), 4 seems inadequate. There will be no memory penalty here, since
virtual channels are allocate only by demand.
- Nuke/Rework the entire statically created cdev entries. Everything is
clonable through snd own clone manager which designed to withstand many
kind of abusive devfs droids such as:
* while : ; do /bin/test -e /dev/dsp ; done
* jot 16777216 0 | while read x ; do ls /dev/dsp0.$x ; done
* hundreds (could be thousands) concurrent threads/process opening
"/dev/dsp" (previously, this might result EBUSY even with just
3 contesting threads/procs).

Neither me nor Ariff have access to any of this hardware, so all tests
have been made by Konstantin and Artem. Commit message mostly written
by Konstantin.
envy24:
- Add test code to support rear line-in input on 'Terratec DMX 6fire'
audio card. This code is also intended to be used in the future for
support of cards, that have I2C-to-GPIO expanders wired between the
control line of the audio codec and the Envy24, however such cards
are too complex and i can't add that support without hardware sample
of such board, i've already tried and failed.
envy24ht:
- Add support for 'AudioTrak Prodigy HD2'.
- Add support for 'AudioTrak Prodigy 7.1 XT'.
- Add support for 'ESI Juli@' (Works ok, DAC volume is hard-coded for
the time being, so 'mixer vol ...' doesn't work, only 'mixer pcm
...' works). [1]
- Fix bug in the init data for M-Audio Revolution 5.1, that
results in distorted sound.
- Add software volume control (now 'mixer pcm' works, thanks to Ariff).
- Add support for more samples rates - 176.4kHz and 192kHz.
- Fix problem with the 192kHz samples rate playback when 24.576MHz
crystal is used on the board instead of 49.152MHz crystal.
spicds:
- Add support for Asahi Kasei flagship DAC - AK4396 (used in AudioTrak
Prodigy HD2).

AC97 Soft Audio and Soft Modem Master Abort Errata
Issue:
Use of either soft audio or soft modem on an Intel® 82443MX PCISet
based platform running a 100 MHz Processor System Bus and an AC97 codec
may result in failures. The system continues to function normally while
the AC97 hardware may not resume and may require a cold-boot to
recover. As a result of the failure, the Master Abort Status bit will
be set in the audio or modem function PCI header space.
Workaround:
Force uncacheable DMA on both BDL and pcm buffers.
Tested by: Emil Holmstr|m <emil@linux.se>
- Remove explicit call to pmap_change_attr(), since we now have proper
and functional definition of BUS_DMA_NOCACHE.
- Enable PCI(e) bus snooping for non i386/amd64 as an alternative for
uncacheable DMA.
- Codecs changes:
* Analag Device -> Analog Devices, AD1988.
* New codec: VIA VT1708 and VT1709, Realtek ALC262, ALC861-VD and
ALC885.
* Various fixups for Conexant Waikiki, fix recording (read: microphone)
on various Analog Devices codecs due to vendor BIOS mess, various
quirks for several ASUS laptops/boards.
- Fix connection list handling, closely following the specification to
handle range of nids.
- Basic Jack sense polling infrastructure for possible hardwares with
broken unsolicited response interrupt.

execution should help us avoiding potential deadlock and illegal locking

disable, to remain compatible with old behaviour (with slight risk of
potential deadlock).

- SWAPLR quirk for (unknown, luckily it is mine) broken uaudio stick.
Fixing by rewiring is impossible without damaging it. Luckily,
we can fix it using "other" methods :) .
- Add uaudio_get_vendor(), _product() and _release() in uaudio.c
(currently used by uaudio_pcm quirk).
- Implement CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS().
- Drop channel locking in few places where it is about to sleep
somewhere. This should help eliminating illegal locking acquisition
where the current thread is about to sleep, and also few deadlock
cases. Dropping it right here is quite safe since it is already
protected by CHN_F_BUSY flag and other threads won't bother to touch it.
Solving other illegal locking issues are quite tricky without converting
most usbd_do_request() calls to its equivalent _async() calls,
which I intend to do it later after getting full test report from
other people with different uaudio hardwares.
- Fix memory leak issues during detach. This seems common to any drivers
(notably emu10kx, csapcm?) with bridge functions.
Implement CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS() for snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_hda
and snd_via8233. CHANNEL_SETBLOCKSIZE() will basically call
CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS() internally using conservative blocksize /
blockcount hints. Other drivers will be converted later.
- Disable stray buffer management, since sample size aligned buffering
are pretty much guaranteed through out the entire feeder_* chain
processes.
- Few style(9) cleanups.
channel.c/channel_if.m:
- Macros cleanups, prefer inlined min() over MIN().
- Rework chn_read()/chn_write() for better dead interrupt detection
policy. Reduce scheduling overhead by doing pure 5 seconds sleep
before giving up, instead of several cycle of brute micro sleeping.
- Avoid calling wakeup_one() for non-sleeping channel (for example,
vchan parent channel).
- EWOULDBLOCK -> EAGAIN.
- Fix possible divide-by-zero panic on chn_sync().
- Re-enforce ^2 blocksize policy, since there are too many broken
userland apps that blindly assume it without even trying to do
serious calculations.
- New channel method - CHANNEL_SETFRAGMENTS(), a refined version of
CHANNEL_SETBLOCKSIZE(). It accept _both_ blocksize and blockcount
arguments, so the driver internals will have better hints for
buffering and timing calculations.
- Hook FEEDER_SWAPLR into feederchain building process.
feeder_fmt.c:
- Unified version of various filters, avoiding duplications.
- malloc()less feeder_fmt. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. For cases such as converting
from stereo to mono or reducing bit depth where input data is larger
than output, cycle remaining available free space until it has been
exhausted and start kicking 8 bytes reservoir space from there to
complete the remaining requested count.
- Introduce FEEDER_SWAPLR. Few super broken hardwares (found on several
extremely cheap uaudio stick, possibly others) mistakenly wired left
and right channels wrongly, screwing output or input.
- Rearrange FEEDER_* constants starting from 0 to 31, so the future
additions will be much easier and consistent.
- Introduce FEEDER_SWAPLR. Few super broken hardwares (found on several
extremely cheap uaudio stick, possibly others) mistakenly wired left
and right channels wrongly, screwing output or input.
malloc()less feeder_vchan. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Reduce mixing overhead by
doing direct copy on first channel. Mixing process will begin starting
from second channel onwards.
malloc()less feeder_volume. Informations can be retrieved dynamically
by doing table lookup on static data. Increase resolution from 6bit
to PCM_FXSHIFT (8bit) for better resolution and finer volume changes.
- Convert sx lock to plain mutex. Since the access of /dev/sndstat
is pretty much exclusive and protected by toggling sndstat_isopen,
plain mutex is more than enough.
- Enable SBUF_AUTOEXTEND to avoid buffer truncation.
