-vwsnd - Sound driver for the Silicon Graphics 320 and 540 Visual
-Workstations' onboard audio.
-
-Copyright 1999 Silicon Graphics, Inc. All rights reserved.
-
-
-At the time of this writing, March 1999, there are two models of
-Visual Workstation, the 320 and the 540. This document only describes
-those models. Future Visual Workstation models may have different
-sound capabilities, and this driver will probably not work on those
-boxes.
-
-The Visual Workstation has an Analog Devices AD1843 "SoundComm" audio
-codec chip. The AD1843 is accessed through the Cobalt I/O ASIC, also
-known as Lithium. This driver programs both chips.
-
-==============================================================================
-QUICK CONFIGURATION
-
- # insmod soundcore
- # insmod vwsnd
-
-==============================================================================
-I/O CONNECTIONS
-
-On the Visual Workstation, only three of the AD1843 inputs are hooked
-up. The analog line in jacks are connected to the AD1843's AUX1
-input. The CD audio lines are connected to the AD1843's AUX2 input.
-The microphone jack is connected to the AD1843's MIC input. The mic
-jack is mono, but the signal is delivered to both the left and right
-MIC inputs. You can record in stereo from the mic input, but you will
-get the same signal on both channels (within the limits of A/D
-accuracy). Full scale on the Line input is +/- 2.0 V. Full scale on
-the MIC input is 20 dB less, or +/- 0.2 V.
-
-The AD1843's LOUT1 outputs are connected to the Line Out jacks. The
-AD1843's HPOUT outputs are connected to the speaker/headphone jack.
-LOUT2 is not connected. Line out's maximum level is +/- 2.0 V peak to
-peak. The speaker/headphone out's maximum is +/- 4.0 V peak to peak.
-
-The AD1843's PCM input channel and one of its output channels (DAC1)
-are connected to Lithium. The other output channel (DAC2) is not
-connected.
-
-==============================================================================
-CAPABILITIES
-
-The AD1843 has PCM input and output (Pulse Code Modulation, also known
-as wavetable). PCM input and output can be mono or stereo in any of
-four formats. The formats are 16 bit signed and 8 bit unsigned,
-u-Law, and A-Law format. Any sample rate from 4 KHz to 49 KHz is
-available, in 1 Hz increments.
-
-The AD1843 includes an analog mixer that can mix all three input
-signals (line, mic and CD) into the analog outputs. The mixer has a
-separate gain control and mute switch for each input.
-
-There are two outputs, line out and speaker/headphone out. They
-always produce the same signal, and the speaker always has 3 dB more
-gain than the line out. The speaker/headphone output can be muted,
-but this driver does not export that function.
-
-The hardware can sync audio to the video clock, but this driver does
-not have a way to specify syncing to video.
-
-==============================================================================
-PROGRAMMING
-
-This section explains the API supported by the driver. Also see the
-Open Sound Programming Guide at http://www.opensound.com/pguide/ .
-This section assumes familiarity with that document.
-
-The driver has two interfaces, an I/O interface and a mixer interface.
-There is no MIDI or sequencer capability.
-
-==============================================================================
-PROGRAMMING PCM I/O
-
-The I/O interface is usually accessed as /dev/audio or /dev/dsp.
-Using the standard Open Sound System (OSS) ioctl calls, the sample
-rate, number of channels, and sample format may be set within the
-limitations described above. The driver supports triggering. It also
-supports getting the input and output pointers with one-sample
-accuracy.
-
-The SNDCTL_DSP_GETCAP ioctl returns these capabilities.
-
- DSP_CAP_DUPLEX - driver supports full duplex.
-
- DSP_CAP_TRIGGER - driver supports triggering.
-
- DSP_CAP_REALTIME - values returned by SNDCTL_DSP_GETIPTR
- and SNDCTL_DSP_GETOPTR are accurate to a few samples.
-
-Memory mapping (mmap) is not implemented.
-
-The driver permits subdivided fragment sizes from 64 to 4096 bytes.
-The number of fragments can be anything from 3 fragments to however
-many fragments fit into 124 kilobytes. It is up to the user to
-determine how few/small fragments can be used without introducing
-glitches with a given workload. Linux is not realtime, so we can't
-promise anything. (sigh...)
-
-When this driver is switched into or out of mu-Law or A-Law mode on
-output, it may produce an audible click. This is unavoidable. To
-prevent clicking, use signed 16-bit mode instead, and convert from
-mu-Law or A-Law format in software.
-
-==============================================================================
-PROGRAMMING THE MIXER INTERFACE
-
-The mixer interface is usually accessed as /dev/mixer. It is accessed
-through ioctls. The mixer allows the application to control gain or
-mute several audio signal paths, and also allows selection of the
-recording source.
-
-Each of the constants described here can be read using the
-MIXER_READ(SOUND_MIXER_xxx) ioctl. Those that are not read-only can
-also be written using the MIXER_WRITE(SOUND_MIXER_xxx) ioctl. In most
-cases, <sys/soundcard.h> defines constants SOUND_MIXER_READ_xxx and
-SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_xxx which work just as well.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_CAPS Read-only
-
-This is a mask of optional driver capabilities that are implemented.
-This driver's only capability is SOUND_CAP_EXCL_INPUT, which means
-that only one recording source can be active at a time.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_DEVMASK Read-only
-
-This is a mask of the sound channels. This driver's channels are PCM,
-LINE, MIC, CD, and RECLEV.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_STEREODEVS Read-only
-
-This is a mask of which sound channels are capable of stereo. All
-channels are capable of stereo. (But see caveat on MIC input in I/O
-CONNECTIONS section above).
-
-SOUND_MIXER_OUTMASK Read-only
-
-This is a mask of channels that route inputs through to outputs.
-Those are LINE, MIC, and CD.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_RECMASK Read-only
-
-This is a mask of channels that can be recording sources. Those are
-PCM, LINE, MIC, CD.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_PCM Default: 0x5757 (0 dB)
-
-This is the gain control for PCM output. The left and right channel
-gain are controlled independently. This gain control has 64 levels,
-which range from -82.5 dB to +12.0 dB in 1.5 dB steps. Those 64
-levels are mapped onto 100 levels at the ioctl, see below.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_LINE Default: 0x4a4a (0 dB)
-
-This is the gain control for mixing the Line In source into the
-outputs. The left and right channel gain are controlled
-independently. This gain control has 32 levels, which range from
--34.5 dB to +12.0 dB in 1.5 dB steps. Those 32 levels are mapped onto
-100 levels at the ioctl, see below.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_MIC Default: 0x4a4a (0 dB)
-
-This is the gain control for mixing the MIC source into the outputs.
-The left and right channel gain are controlled independently. This
-gain control has 32 levels, which range from -34.5 dB to +12.0 dB in
-1.5 dB steps. Those 32 levels are mapped onto 100 levels at the
-ioctl, see below.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_CD Default: 0x4a4a (0 dB)
-
-This is the gain control for mixing the CD audio source into the
-outputs. The left and right channel gain are controlled
-independently. This gain control has 32 levels, which range from
--34.5 dB to +12.0 dB in 1.5 dB steps. Those 32 levels are mapped onto
-100 levels at the ioctl, see below.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_RECLEV Default: 0 (0 dB)
-
-This is the gain control for PCM input (RECording LEVel). The left
-and right channel gain are controlled independently. This gain
-control has 16 levels, which range from 0 dB to +22.5 dB in 1.5 dB
-steps. Those 16 levels are mapped onto 100 levels at the ioctl, see
-below.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_RECSRC Default: SOUND_MASK_LINE
-
-This is a mask of currently selected PCM input sources (RECording
-SouRCes). Because the AD1843 can only have a single recording source
-at a time, only one bit at a time can be set in this mask. The
-allowable values are SOUND_MASK_PCM, SOUND_MASK_LINE, SOUND_MASK_MIC,
-or SOUND_MASK_CD. Selecting SOUND_MASK_PCM sets up internal
-resampling which is useful for loopback testing and for hardware
-sample rate conversion. But software sample rate conversion is
-probably faster, so I don't know how useful that is.
-
-SOUND_MIXER_OUTSRC DEFAULT: SOUND_MASK_LINE|SOUND_MASK_MIC|SOUND_MASK_CD
-
-This is a mask of sources that are currently passed through to the
-outputs. Those sources whose bits are not set are muted.
-
-==============================================================================
-GAIN CONTROL
-
-There are five gain controls listed above. Each has 16, 32, or 64
-steps. Each control has 1.5 dB of gain per step. Each control is
-stereo.
-
-The OSS defines the argument to a channel gain ioctl as having two
-components, left and right, each of which ranges from 0 to 100. The
-two components are packed into the same word, with the left side gain
-in the least significant byte, and the right side gain in the second
-least significant byte. In C, we would say this.
-
- #include <assert.h>
-
- ...
-
- assert(leftgain >= 0 && leftgain <= 100);
- assert(rightgain >= 0 && rightgain <= 100);
- arg = leftgain | rightgain << 8;
-
-So each OSS gain control has 101 steps. But the hardware has 16, 32,
-or 64 steps. The hardware steps are spread across the 101 OSS steps
-nearly evenly. The conversion formulas are like this, given N equals
-16, 32, or 64.
-
- int round = N/2 - 1;
- OSS_gain_steps = (hw_gain_steps * 100 + round) / (N - 1);
- hw_gain_steps = (OSS_gain_steps * (N - 1) + round) / 100;
-
-Here is a snippet of C code that will return the left and right gain
-of any channel in dB. Pass it one of the predefined gain_desc_t
-structures to access any of the five channels' gains.
-
- typedef struct gain_desc {
- float min_gain;
- float gain_step;
- int nbits;
- int chan;
- } gain_desc_t;
-
- const gain_desc_t gain_pcm = { -82.5, 1.5, 6, SOUND_MIXER_PCM };
- const gain_desc_t gain_line = { -34.5, 1.5, 5, SOUND_MIXER_LINE };
- const gain_desc_t gain_mic = { -34.5, 1.5, 5, SOUND_MIXER_MIC };
- const gain_desc_t gain_cd = { -34.5, 1.5, 5, SOUND_MIXER_CD };
- const gain_desc_t gain_reclev = { 0.0, 1.5, 4, SOUND_MIXER_RECLEV };
-
- int get_gain_dB(int fd, const gain_desc_t *gp,
- float *left, float *right)
- {
- int word;
- int lg, rg;
- int mask = (1 << gp->nbits) - 1;
