Remove obsoleted sequencer instrument layer from alsa-lib.
The old symbols are compiled in as default as dummy functions
(unless --disable-old-symbols is given to configure) so that
the old binaries can still work more or less.
- 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
The softvol PCM plugin is added. It applies the software volume attenuation,
which may be useful for codecs without volume controls.
Currently, the control is only mono. The attenuation is applied to all
channels equally. The control is probed and automatically created
when not exists yet.
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.
Fixed problem with EOF detection in freestring parser.
Fixed problem with run-time argument parsing (snd_config_load()->snd_config_load_override() replace).
Added more documentation for configuration run-time arguments and hooks.
Fixed the behaviour of snd_config_search_definition() - implicit and explicit base.
- 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
