ALSA Test suite

ALSA Test suite

[Jignesh Patel]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 480 bytes --]

Hi All,
 
Is anybody working on ALSA testsuite?
 
__or_ just testing it through available alsa-utils is enough. 
 
I like to develop some tests, which will test ALSA Driver on my x86 machine and then really want to move it to ARM target, <<again here the driver will be different as expacted>>. 
 
I will explore possible state model of device in my mind for testing, once I get some inputs.
 
Regards,
Jignesh

there are test codes in alsa-lib/tests directory.
also James Courtier-Dutton wrote some neat test programs (i'd like to
include them too).

it'd be really appreciated if you organize the collection of test
suites.  we can create a new package, e.g. alsa-test, for such tools.

Although you have not asked me directly, feel free to include my test 
programs. I assume you are talking about the ones from: -
http://www.superbug.demon.co.uk/speaker-test/
Just make sure that my name,copyright message appears at the top of each 
source code file you use.

Please tell me as soon as they appear in the alsa cvs, because I need to 
remove them from my site due to bandwidth limits.

Cheers
James

oh thanks, it was under evaluation before getting permission ;)

maybe we'll need a configure setup.  i'll work on it later.

the question is to where should it go?  in alsa-lib/test, alsa-utils?
of course, if we have the alsa-test tree, it would be the best place.

ok.

Hi, i don't know if my pcm config tester is in some way braindead [it
sure is], and also it's far from complete. But if you guys feel that the
program could be of any serious use, i would "donate" it to the ALSA
project after cleaning it up and filling in the missing tests..

Just for remembering: it's a little program which browses the
configuration space of a pcm device, trying to open it with different
configurations [periodsize, periodcount, sample rates [for
capture/playback/fullduplex] ..  It doesn't actually try to play any
sound through it [cause the different access methods are already tested
by the pcm test program in alsa-lib/test]...

I wouldn't mind taking a look at it.  I'm studying the ALSA driver / lib 
API right now and wrote a pcm player for the purpose of studying the 
API, and I do stuff like load it up with all the info and debug type 
alsa functions, experiment heavily with all of the hw_params functions 
on various devices, run gdb on it and step thu the inner workings of the 
alsa functions, etc.  I'd like to get more ideas from other pieces of 
small code.
