- midlayer cleanups and simplification
- probably broke the "none" abstraction code somehow (not intensively tested
midlayer changes)
- trying to implement ac97 module
- far from finished
- common code should be moved to alsa-lib as core for other modules
- perhaps simple_abst.c can be based on this common code, too
- exported all necessary functions to create a mixer module outside alsa-lib
- separated simple mixer API from the simple mixer implementation
(using callbacks as usuall)
- src/mixer/simple.c is the core
- src/mixer/simple_none.c is the current (no-abstraction) implementation
based on control names; note that this module does not depend on
internal ALSA structures now
- src/mixer/simple_abst.c is the ongoing abstraction which will use
external dynamic modules; src/conf/smixer.conf will describe which
modules will be used depending on the components from the driver
- Fix semaphore gid control
- Do semaphore discard for all semaphores (although currently defined as 1)
- Fix the wrong check of return value from shmctl
- Fixed unbalanced semaphores (which may cause deadlock)
- Do semaphore-up before blocking calls for communication with the server
- Don't discard semaphores on the client side
- Open slave PCMs always in non-blocking mode to avoid blocking by semaphore
with the secondary open
Add snd_pcm_hw_params_get/set_export_buffer() API functions.
They control to ensure the buffer export to other processes.
If this flag is set, the local buffer of a plugin is exported over IPC shm.
Otherwise the buffer can be handled only locally (no shm).
Also fixed Version file for 1.0.9.
dmix transfers data in asynchronously so that it doesn't write on the
last active period. This will allow the arbitrary buffer size in
future, too.
The hwsync call to slave is removed from commit and hwsync callbacks.
This hack was added to fix the noisy output (typically on xmms/bmp)
but it doesn't happen any more. Now the hwsync behavior is as same as
on 1.0.8 (i.e. hwsync is called only when slowptr option is set).
- Added protocl version check. The caller of snd_pcm_{io|ext}plug_create()
must fill version field with SND_PCM_{IO|EXT}PLUG_VERSION beforehand.
- Added poll_descriptors and poll_descriptors_count callbacks for ioplug.
