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.
* add a callback for initialising the mixer interface
* support ac97 2.1 variable rate audio feature
fix ac97-using drivers for the above
add suspend/resume support for neomagic
Also, optimize out a mess of #if's that were duplicating work already
done by config(8). For example, if a file is marked as
"dev/sound/pci/foo.c optional pcm pci" then it's only added if pcm *and*
pci are present, so #if NPCM > 0 and #if NPCI > 0 are totally redundant.
A bit more work is still needed.
Discussed with: cg (a few weeks ago)
ES1371 and ES1373 PCI Audio Sound Chips.
The 1371 and 1373 can be found on newer CreativeLabs/Ensoniq
sound cards such as the SoundBlaster PCI 16,64 and 128.
