- add snd_device_name_hint() and snd_device_name_free_hint() functions
- add snd_ctl_iface_conf_name() functions
- do not accept parameters for the plugin definition without @args section
- add defaults.pcm.dmix.card/device and dsnoop.card/device definitions
- add hints for HDA-Intel.conf, pcm/dmix.conf, pcm/dsnoop.conf and alsa.conf
- add test/namehint test utility
- doxygen related cleanups
Introduce "max_periods" option to specify the max number of periods
per buffer to each plugin.
- When max_periods = -1, the fixed buffer size as the slave size is
used (old behavior).
- When max_periods = 0 (or 1), the number of periods is variable
between 2 and the slave buffer size.
- When max_periods greater than 2 is given, it specifies the max
periods of that pcm explicitly.
When no option is given in the PCM defintion, the value
"defaults.pcm.dmix_max_periods" is referred as default.
The default value is 0, as defined in alsa.conf.
You can override this in ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf as you like.
With the patch, dmix allows apps to use more flexible buffer sizes.
The max buffer size is unlimited, and the minimal buffer size is
(period size * 2). The buffer size is aligned to period size.
The period size is still bound to the period size of slave PCM.
To back to the old behavior (the fixed buffer size), you can set
defaults.pcm.dmix_variable_buffer false
in your configuration.
- Support multi-card/device for dmix/dsnoop/dshare plugins
The unique ipc key is calculated based on card/device/sub index
- Clean up and share the code among all d* plugins
- Refer the defaults.pcm.* configuration
The base ipc_key number, ipc_gid and ipc_perm are referred.
This defines two modem related pcm devices: "phoneline" is driver's pcm
reference, with "modem" the line will be "Hook-Off"ed automatically.

Call hwsync of slave PCM on snd_pcm_hwsync() over dmix.
This reduces ocasional output noises, typically seen in xmms and bmp with
multi-threading on SMP/HT systems.
Disabled slowptr of default dmix definition again.
"default" PCM can be card-specific.
The definition is moved to pcm/default.conf, and read on-demmand via
aliases.conf. The card config can override the default config.
- changed snd_config_get_id function to follow semantic of other get functions
- added snd_config_test_id
- added runtime pointer type (not persistent)
- added snd_config_make_pointer, snd_config_set_pointer, snd_config_get_pointer
- added type/contents checking for callback functions
- changed 'void *private_data' to 'snd_config_t *private_data'
- renamed card_strtype functions to card_driver
Control:
- fixed passing parameters to snd_ctl_async
Async handlers:
- added public snd_async_handler_get_signo function
Documentation:
- moved all documentation to source files
Added private_data parameter for snd_config_hooks function.
Fixed the return value mess in the config parser routines.
The include file could begin with 'confdir:' which is replaced with /usr/share/alsa.
The snd_config_search_definitions looks for raw name at first (without suggested root).
Added snd_func_private_card_strtype function.
All configuration files moved to the src/conf directory.
Configuration files modified to use load-on-demand feature using hooks.
