hw_rule

[Giuliano Pochini <pochini@shiny.it>]

I wrote this rule:


static int hw_rule_format_set_channels(snd_pcm_hw_params_t *params,
snd_pcm_hw_rule_t *rule) {
  snd_interval_t *c=hw_param_interval(params,
SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS);
  snd_mask_t *f=hw_param_mask(params, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_FORMAT);
  snd_interval_t ch;

  printk("Rule f=%x %x %x\n", f->bits[0], f->bits[1], f->bits[2]);
  memset(&ch, 0, sizeof(ch));

  // S32_BE is mono only
  if (f->bits[0]==SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S32_BE) {
    ch.min=1;
    ch.max=1;
    ch.integer=1;
    return(snd_interval_refine(c, &ch));
  }
  // U8 and S16_LE are stereo only
  if (f->bits[0]==SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_U8 ||
      f->bits[0]==SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S16_LE) {
    ch.min=2;
    ch.max=2;
    ch.integer=1;
    return(snd_interval_refine(c, &ch));
  }
  // S32_LE supports any number of channels.
  return(0);
}


It seems to work, but since it's based on other drivers (no docs...),
there are some thing I don't know:
- Is f->bits[0] correct ?  All formats supported by the card are < 31. I
suppose formats >=32 go in bits[1], isn't it ?
- what are ch.openmin, openmax, empty ?  They are taken into account
because if I don't clear the structure the rule doesn't work anymore.
- How many stupid bugs are there ? :)


Bye.
