Commit 1d80c5b901 message describes
behaviour in case of specified infile option as
'No file writes will take place in this case'.
But this is clearly not the case as output file gets truncated while
running `arecord -Dtestin >/dev/null`, where "testin" is defined as
pcm.testin {
type file
slave.pcm null
file "/tmp/qqqq.out"
infile "/tmp/qqqq.in"
format "raw"
}
Besides that, the existing behaviour is rather counterintuitive,
requiring both output and input files to exist and making access to them
regardless of playback or capture intention.
Also, it's very confusing to get output file truncated while trying to
just capture from the device.
Current changeset introduces the following behaviour:
- output file ("file" option) is only (p)open()'ed for writing
only on playback to the device
- any data is written to the output file descriptor
(provided with "file" option) only on playback to the device
- input file ("infile" option) is only open()'ed for reading only on
capture from the device
- any data is read from the input file descriptor
(provided with the "infile" option) only on capture from the device
