Add to the dmix plugin support for the S24_3LE sample format which is
used by 24-bit USB devices.
The optimized assembler version uses only 23 bits for sample data so
that the lowest bit can be used for synchronization because there is no
24-bit cmpxchg instruction.
Add --enable-* and --with-pcm-plugins configure options for partial builds.
User can choose the core components (pcm, mixer, rawmidi, hwdep, seq, instr)
via --enable-xxx or --disable-xxx option. As default, all components are
enabled.
The PCM plugins to build can be selected via --with-pcm-plugins option.
For example, to build only rate and linear plugin, pass
--with-pcm-plugins=rate,linear
Passing "all" will select all plugins (it's the default value).
The plug plugin will select linear and copy plugins automatically.
The other auto conversions of plug plugin are enabled only when the
corresponding plugin is selected.

this is a fix for bug 0001559.
Unlike my first guesses the real problem is not in the kernel driver but in
alsa-lib. Whenever the current dmix status is xrun and snd_pcm_dmix_drain
gets called the process will hang forever in the poll function. The reason is
that poll gets called even though the timer already stopped.
As described in the bugtracking system this bug was not noticable with alsa
versions that used the old IOCTLS because the SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_STOP ioctl
never reached the timer kernel module.
Attached patch fixes this problem for alsa-lib 1.0.10 by simply calling
snd_pcm_dmix_drop when snd_pcm_dmix_drain gets called in the state
SND_PCM_STATE_XRUN.
From: Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>
While working on an ALSA driver for the audio part of em8300-based MPEG
decoder boards (Sigma Designs' Hollywood+ boards and Creative Labs' DXR3
boards), I think I discovered a bug in the code that generates IEC958
subframes from linear samples (iec958 plugin): M and W preambles are
swapped, and B preambles should only be used on even subframes. The
attached patch fixes this issue.
Initialize wbuf_used_bytes, adjust appl_ptr in the rewind and forward
callbacks, and adjust the offset when a data block straddles the
boundary of the wbuf buffer.
Fixed the bug producing silent tones with some combinations of plugins.
The internal buffer handling is now better (cleaner) integrated with
snd_pcm_generic_*().
The poll() call in the resource server for PCM direct plugins might be
interrupted with an signal. Handle the case gracefuly and don't exit
the server (which brings another problems - cannot connect to socket -
later).
- this patch adds support for suspend & result for dmix and other
direct plugins
- the timer detection / initialization (TREAD support) was redesigned and
the check for proper driver version was moved to the timer_hw.c
- Fix semaphore gid control
- Do semaphore discard for all semaphores (although currently defined as 1)
- Fix the wrong check of return value from shmctl
