When creating synthesized paths, pa_alsa_path_set_new() created duplicate
elements for each path, and one of the duplicate elements would be marked as
required absent. That made path probing fail. While debugging this, I noticed
also that pa_alsa_path_synthesize() didn't initialize p->last_element properly.
This patch reflects a new capability that Lennart was wishing
for. Wish granted...
Re-submitting it now that alsa-lib 1.0.24
provides additional entry points to disable period
wakeups in timer-scheduling mode if hardware can
work without it (HDAudio, oxygen and Intel SST).
Example with standard playback on HDAudio output
Before change:
Top causes for wakeups:
3.8% ( 5.4) [hda_intel] <interrupt>
2.8% ( 4.0) alsa-sink
After change:
Top causes for wakeups:
2.3% ( 3.0) alsa-sink

Cherry picked by Colin Guthrie from ec5a785712
with a couple of additional changes due to extra limiting in master
that was not present in stable-queue.
This is needed to better support out of tree builds (including
distcheck) and to ensure the necessary folders are created in the
build tree on configure and also works around an intl-tools bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/intltool/+bug/605826)
The Makefile.am's used are minimal (and in some cases completely
blank). At present they do not include anything interesting
with the majority of the real work still done by the monolitic
src/Makefile.am
It may make sense to start splitting out src/Makefile.am into
smaller chunks but this commit makes the minimum changes to address
the issues that result from using make distcheck and other out of
tree builds.
Note: This 'breaks' the ability to type make in e.g. the src/modules
folder and have all of PA rebuilt accordingly (this is because the
static Makefiles previously present just did a "make -C ..") which
was purportedly for use in emacs. But I'm sure there will be a better
and more robust way to configure emacs to do your builds properly if
this behaviour is still desirable.
Currently if sink base volume differs from 0dB and sync-volume is used,
wrong volume values are written to hw. This patch fixes that.

Some laptops have 'Internal Mic 1' exposed as an 'Input Source', e.g., Dell
XPSM 1530, so handle these, too.

How about this? There are a couple of bugs in sink_write_volume_cb,
by the way. Another patch will be sent once this dB value printing
patch is accepted.

Currently when rewinding alsa, a fixed value of 256 bytes is used,
which represents 1.33ms @ 48kHz (2ch, 16bit). This is typically fine
and due to DMA constraints we would not want to rewind less than this.
However with more demanding sample specs, (e.g. 8ch 192kHz 32bit)
256 bytes is likely not sufficient, so calculate what 1.33ms would
be and use which ever value is bigger.
Discussed with David Henningsson and Pierre-Louis Bossart here:

Make new defines for the smoother window size and adjust time constants instead
of reusing some unrelated constant.
Increase the smoother window size even more because the bigger it is, the
better. Since we have a 200ms max update interval and the max smoother history
is 64 entries, 10seconds is a good default.
Decrease the smoother adjust time to 1 second. The previous value of 4 seconds
was too much to adapt quickly after a resume.
Use snd_pcm_avail_delay() in pa_alsa_safe_delay() so that we can check the delay
value against the avail value and patch it up when it looks invalid. Only do
this for capture.
Move the code to start the capture and the smoother closer together to improve
smoother accuracy.
Rework things to look more like the alsa sink where the device is started in
only one place.
This allows the name registry to mangle the names of auto-detected sinks and
sources to be unique, which makes it possible to load multiple identical sound
cards using module-udev-detect.
At least for now the module argument can only be passed through
module-alsa-card.
This is added so that module-udev-detect can load multiple module-alsa-card
instances with the same card name - forcing namereg_fail to false allows the
name registry to mangle the card names to be unique.
The smoother is paused when the device is suspended but never resumed on
unsuspend. Pass the paused = FALSE flag to the pa_smoother_reset() call to make
it unpause when unsuspending. This patch improves source timings quite a bit.
Second version after Tanu's feedback
TODO:
- notify client that volume control is disabled
- change sink rate in passthrough mode if needed
- automatic detection of passthrough mode instead of hard
coded profile names

Positive base volume can happen, if the alsa volume range has been limited. For
example, in an embedded environment it may be known that the sound device is
capable of louder output than what the speakers can handle, so setting the max
volume below 0 dB makes sense.
Rewinding the ring buffer completely causes audible issues with DMAs.
Previous solution didn't work with tsched=0, and used tsched_watermark
for guardband, which isn't linked to hardware and could become really high
if underflows occurred.
Added separate parameter that can be tuned to hardware limitations and size
of DMA bursts.
This is not 100% ideal as we have not way to tie specific boosts to specific
inputs and this particular chipset (as noted in #772) appears to
support just that.
For the time being incorporate it into the normal boost logic.
