new alsa docs.

new alsa docs.

[Patrick Shirkey]

I'm have soreted out all the final bugs I had with the new docs setup. 
Added the midi stuff and I feel that the site is ready for prime time.

You can see it here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/

I appreciate other people going through it but I will make some links to 
it from the main page tonight.

Thx.

Rad!

I hadn't been keeping up with the status of your work, Patrick, but it
looks great. Nice job.

A few suggestions, quibbles, etc, meant to be constructive feedback:

* It wasn't obvious to me that the "plus" down at the bottom is a link
to add information. Perhaps if it were a link or a button that said
something like "Add comment to this card's page..." or something it
would be more clear.

* I know you've got it templated, but I suppose that all of the common
stuff on the card pages could maybe go on one separate page.

* Are there any programs that don't work with ~/.asoundrc files? I don't
have one, personally. I just use the "default" device, as it suits my
needs fine. I think that templated asoundrc isn't all that useful, but
maybe that's just me.

* It would be nice if the link to the driver docs were a link instead of
a button. A table full of buttons is rather imposing, at least to me. I
think it takes longer to render, too.

Anyway, what you have looks good, keep up the good work. These are just
suggestions, take them or leave them as you will.

regards,

wingo.

Ok. I stole it from the php site. I am trying to think of a new design 
that is funky. Probably a spin on the ALSA logo with ADD instead of ALSA.

We discussed this a while ago and the general consensus was that we 
wanted the page to be complete. I have tried to make a compromise 
between having the high level stuff easily accesible and not making it 
too scary for new users. The aim of the new setup is to provide a style 
of documentation which is similar to the way M$ does it. The sad truth 
is that is what the majority are used to so we want to make the 
transition easier for them.

I am open to other ways of presenting the material on the page.

The .asoundrc is very simple for the main reason that we don't have 
working user docs for the .asoundrc file yet. I am working on it as are 
others. Watch this space. However the one in the template does work with 
  f.i ardour so that is useful for a lot of people.

I know but I haven't yet figured out how to make use a link as a submit 
button for a form which is the basis of the current design. Everything 
is posted around. I know there are better ways to do this but I don't 
know how to do them. So it will be form based until I or someone else 
can write a better version. Emphasis on write :)

I appreciate your feedback because it shows me which parts I need to 
work on.

Just a couple of minor queries.
1) In the "Setting up modprobe and kmod support" you do not include the
line:
        alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
(at least for the two cards relevant to me [trident and ice1712] but you
do
include it in the explanation. Which is recommended?

2) For debian it is possible to add a new file "alsasound" (say) to
/etc/modutils/ and update-modules will find it (I'm not sure if this is
recommended practice or not, I'm still very much a beginner with
debian).

Overall though, a nice piece of work, that should be very useful in
making ALSA more accessible to new users.

Hmmm, good question. I have added it for now as they are different minor 
numbers.

Ahh. So all files that configure modules in some way eg startup or 
modules.conf are dealt with by modutils? I'll read up and see if I can 
make the tip more precise.

Re: new alsa docs.

[Joerg Mayer]

Nice work Patrick! I've found a few things that can be improved (although
I consider only the first point somewhat important)
1) for emu10k cards: add a section how to download the samples into
   the card
2) The buttons inside the table in the cards page look ugly (konqueror kde3)
3) Add missing ALT tags (and height and width, while you are at it, the
   latter can be done with imagesize from cpan).
4) Look at the pages with a text browser like links or w3m: the color for
   the soundcards is missing.

  Ciao

For debian, you're best off installing the alsa libs, etc from packages,
and building the modules from source. The alsa-base package provides
modutils and sysvinit integration. See /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 [*] for
the modutils stuff.

[*] It might be 1.0 now. I have both files and they look the same. Hey
Jaroslav, let's get a 1.0 ;-)

another minor correction:

in the section 'A short explanation of what happens in the
/etc/modules.conf file', there are two bogus configurations for the
second card:
	alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
	alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss

they are not necessary, because there is only one /dev/sequencer,
regardless how many cards you have.

You might want to add Emagic's "EMI 2|6" to the matrix at least in green, 
though it works fully for me with the following:

-> using tapio laxströms firmware loader (yes, he signed a NDA...) from 
http://www.vtoy.fi/~tapio/emi26.html to load the firmware

-> Then using the usb-audio-driver

-> .asoundrc: 
==================
pcm.emi {
        type hw;
        card 0;
}
ctl.emi {
        type hw;
        card 0;
}
==================

-> modules.conf:
==================
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
# EMI 2|6
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd-usb-audio snd_id="emi"
==================

Unfortunately there are a few system-hangups I experienced on my 
intel-box, but I suspect my setup isn't very clean any more...
On my ppc it runs just fine ;-)

Have fun*

Re: new alsa docs.

[Patrick Shirkey]

Does anybody know how to get all the text from a text area to post when 
it includes " and ' marks?

I am using stripslashes($var) to pass the variable between pages with 
success but when I do the final post if I use "" around the VALUE in the 
input line the text gets cut off at the first " or if I use '' the text 
gets cut off at the first '.

eg.

        <INPUT NAME='note' TYPE='hidden' VALUE="<?echo 
stripslashes($note); ?>">

or

        <INPUT NAME='note' TYPE='hidden' VALUE='<?echo 
stripslashes($note); ?>'>

This is the script I am using to mail the form. I suspect that the mail 
command at the very bottom is fscking it but I'm not sure how I can fix it.

Re: new alsa docs.

[Scott MacKenzie]

Hi,

Can I just take the opportunity to ask why, in the sound-card matrix, 
the Hoontech ST Audio DSP24 is in green as a 'possible' still, when the 
entry below it, the IC Ensemble Envy24 (the former being based on the 
latter) is supported with the ice1712 driver?  Are there outstanding 
issues with regard to Hoontech-specific functions?  I've just started 
playing with the former card (a Mk I version), and in fact am yet to 
obtain an external rack for it.

Regards,

Scott.

Those look the same to me, so I assume you meant the other one with 
citation marks.

Anyway, you should use htmlspecialchars() to turn the special characters 
interfering html markup (' # & < >) to html entities. So:

<INPUT NAME="note" TYPE="hidden" VALUE="<?echo 
htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($note)); ?>">

Hmmm... you're testing $Youraddress for integer, was that the intention? 
If $Youraddress doesn't contain a number in the beginning of the string, 
it fails and $Youradddress turns to "Null".

I also assumed you're using PHP.

Tell me more if I got it completely wrong ;)

oops. I haven't had any problems with it yet. It just adds NULL to the 
address of the sender which is the alsa server. It's no big deal.

Re: new alsa docs.

[Patrick Shirkey]

To make the module options complete I need someone to send me the output of

     modinfo $(modprobe -l snd-*) | cat > modules

when run on PPC and an ARM and a computer with old PnP cards/slots.

Run it as root user. It will write a file called modules to the 
directory you run it from.

The "usb generic" instructions for USB-MIDI devices is a copy of the Midiman 
MidisportNxN page. This is very inaccurate and confusing, as many devices 
(e.g. the Roland/Edirol ones) aren't EZ-USB devices and don't need/accept the 
ezusbmidi firmware at all. Please, remove the ezusbmidi references from the 
generic usb-midi page.

On the other hand, this device is reported by Clemens:
 Steinberg        http://www.steinberg.net/
    USB-2-MIDI       http://www.steinberg.net/products/ae/hardware/usb2midi/
It is another EZ-USB based device, and needs the ezusbmidi firmware to work. 
You can safely copy the Midisport page for it.

I would like to insist again about including "EZ-USB" in the chipset column 
for  these devices: 
	Midiman Midisport NxN
	Midiman USB Keystations: 
http://www.midiman.net/products/midiman/keystations.php
	Steinberg USB-MIDI-2 adaptor:
http://www.steinberg.net/products/ae/hardware/usb2midi/

For the "chipset" column you can put here EZ-USB (or "Cypress AN2131XX") 
http://www.cypress.com/products/datasheet.cfm?partnum=AN2131SC

This chipset is widely used in USB peripherals, not only MIDI ones, and it is  
related to Intel 8051 chip. The firmware loader (fxload) for this chipset is 
included in linux-hotplug: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/
And SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) is a GPL tool that can be used to build 
firmware drivers: http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/

Pedro

Wouldn't it be helpful to make the matrix Open Source(TM) in order to
be able to submit a patch/SQL script/whatever?

Currently I am trying to maintain as few pages as possible so the 
generic instructions access exactly the same data as ezusb devices. 
However I have made the ezusb instructions more recognisable.

If this is still too confusing then I will have to add another variable 
for all ezusb devices. I would rather not as it means one more little 
thing to remember. I will add a note on the matrix for these cards below.

The matrix page is html (apart from the edit date) so you can just view 
the source and make a patch from that which I will add :) I feel that 
the more people who contribute code to the matrix the better. It would 
be great to have a few more people who are willing to keep track of 
certain product lines.

But if you talking about the entire docs site, you want cvs access and 
you need to talk to Jaroslav as he runs the server.

It looked as if generated from a database (not after looking at the

alsa docs - PHP help

[Patrick Shirkey]

Using urlencode on the template doesn't solve the problem for older
browsers.

Can anyone think of a regex to auto encode the every line in the index 
page that looks like this:

<a
href="doc-php/template.php3?company=Abit&card=AU10&chip=FM801&module=fm801">Install</a>

So that the variables are ulrencoded before the page is rendered?

Otherwise I/future maintainers have to go through every device and hand 
type it in and any patches that are made too.

Ergh!

I'm thinking of something like

   	if (line = <a href="doc-php/template.php3?...){
		for (every variable){
			rewrite as urlencode($variable);
		}
	}		

would I then have to use urldecode in the template?

thx.
