Add restriction parameters to pcm hw layer.
The PCM hw has optional parameters, format, rate and channels, to restrict
the configuration. This is useful for definition of surround slave PCMs,
for example.
Add configuration options to change the default device path from the
default /dev/snd. This is useful for embedded systems that do not want
subdirectories in /dev.
Remove several memory leaks by not aborting prematurely from a
snd_xxx_close() function when some operation fails.
This can happen when a USB device was unplugged.
Fix the check of nonblock option for all hw layer.
Instead of passing in asound.conf, check the option in snd_pcm_hw_open()
so that the nonblock option is referred in the case of "type hw ..." style
definition, too.
Added a new "nonblock" option for hw layer. This controls the non-blocking
"open" mode as default.
This option is set to TRUE as the default configuration. If the old behavior
is preferred, set "defaults.pcm.nonblock" to 0 in /etc/asound.conf.
Fix by Istvan Varadi <ivaradi@gmail.com>
- start the playback with snd_pcm_hw_start failed with -EPIPE, because
some pointers were not updated. I attached a patch for alsa-lib 1.0.8,
in which sync_ptr is called before SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START. It seems to
solve the problem, though I don't know alsa-lib enough to be sure that
this is the right solution...
- added link/unlink/link_fd fast_ops callbacks
- moved code from snd_pcm_link to pcm_hw.c
- moved "empty" routines pointing to slave to pcm_generic.c
- introduced snd_pcm_generic_t
Change the handling of non-fatal errors. Now the non-fatal error
messages are not shown in stderr and no assert() as default. The
behavior can be changed with LIBASOUND_DEBUG environment variable.
- added poll_events to main pcm structure
- added poll_revents callback to pcm->ops structure
- fixed snd_pcm_wait() - call revents function and enhanced
error code reporting
DMIX plugin:
- more complete code (works at least for one instance)
- still no "mix" code (it's silent)
More documentation updates for snd_pcm_avail_update() and snd_pcm_delay().
Updated behaviour of read/write functions (wait when buffer is full) to
follow kernel.
New snd_pcm_hw_params_* functions are available only explicitly when
ALSA_PCM_NEW_HW_PARAMS_API is defined.
Updated documentation and test code to new API.
- added backward compatibility for older non-compatible functions
- added --with-compat-rc3 to configure script to build library
backwards compatible with 0.9.0rc3
- added symbol versioning like libc.so.6
- ALSA_0.9 - alsa base
- ALSA_0.9.0rc4 - first set of new functions (snd_pcm_hw_params_*)
