purpose of this fix, is to read most accurate timestamps. From documentation of /src/pcm/pcm.c, we can see: """" \par Timestamp mode The timestamp mode specifies, if timestamps are activated. Currently, only #SND_PCM_TSTAMP_NONE and #SND_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP modes are known. The mmap mode means that timestamp is taken on every period time boundary. Corresponding position in the ring buffer assigned to timestamp can be obtained using #snd_pcm_htimestamp() function. """" As snd_pcm_generic_htimestamp() internally calls snd_pcm_htimestamp() to read time, so accurate timestamp can be read from snd_pcm_generic_htimestamp(). Also, in case of pcm_file, if the underlying slave is hardware, then we would wish to read elapsed hardware time, as it will be the most accurate, as opposed to the elapsed wall time. This will provide pcm_file with the most accurate timestamps. Following are the timesamps read with timestamp enabled, for with fix and without fix scenarios: 1> With fix: :~#time aplay --enable-tstamp -Dhtstamp_test --period-time=5000 -v -fdat /dev/urandom Playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo File PCM (file=/tmp/swarate_out.wav) Final file PCM (file=/tmp/swarate_out.wav) .. Slave: Hardware PCM card 0 'imx6q-sabresd-wm8962' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 24000 period_size : 240 period_time : 5000 tstamp_mode : ENABLE . . Before sleep = 142:409.807623 After sleep = 142:409.807623 Before sleep = 142:414.806016 (calling snd_pcm_htimestamp(handle, &avail, &tstamp_before)) sleep of 2 milisec After sleep = 142:414.806016 (calling snd_pcm_htimestamp(handle, &avail, &tstamp_after) From the above timestamps, we can see that slave has returned the same timestamps, as --period-time choosen is 5msec. 2> Without this fix: The timestamps are returned with realtime value. :~# time aplay --enable-tstamp -Dhtstamp_test --period-time=5000 -v -fdat /dev/urandom Playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo File PCM (file=/tmp/swarate_out.wav) Final file PCM (file=/tmp/swarate_out.wav) . .
