Export helper functions to convert dB level and range.
snd_tlv_*dB*() are to convert dB level or range directly from TLV data.
snd_ctl_*dB*() are to get dB level or range from a control element.
Fix the type of the string list parameter in the prototypes of
snd_device_name_hint() and snd_device_name_free_hint(). The prototypes
used char**, while the implementation and the users are using void**.
- 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
ordinary mixer:
- revised Ordinary Mixer I/O type
- sndo_mixer_open() take PCMs rather than strings to pass
the real relationship
- an initial version of toplevel alisp script
more alisp development:
- renamed a* functions to A* functions (acall -> Acall etc.)
- many improvements (unset*, exfun, Acall pcm_info, Asnderr, Asyserr)
- 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 back modified snd_config_refer_load function.
Added snd_func_private_pcm_subdevice function.
Removed the callback from the snd_sctl_build function (no more required).
Modified alsa.conf to use refer {} blocks again.
Modified card specific conf files to use new snd_func_private_pcm_subdevice function.
The configuration root (snd_config) can be specified for the internal routines.
The pcm_hooks code was recoded (independent code moved to control/setup.c).
Improved the pcm_multi plugin (added master configuration).
