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_*)
