ALSA: doc: ReSTize writing-an-alsa-driver document

2016-11-10T16:59:18+00:00

Another simple conversion from DocBook to ReST. This required a few manual fixups and reformats, but the most of contents are kept as is. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Remove transfer_ack_{begin,end} callbacks from struct snd_pcm_runtime

2015-10-22T15:16:23+00:00

While there is nothing wrong with the transfer_ack_begin and transfer_ack_end callbacks per-se, the last documented user was part of the alsa-driver 0.5.12a package, which was released 14 years ago and even predates the upstream integration of the ALSA core and has subsequently been superseded by newer alsa-driver releases. This seems to indicate that there is no need for having these callbacks and they are just cruft that can be removed. Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: doc: Recommend the use of snd_ctl_elem_info()

2014-10-20T16:06:04+00:00

Instead of the open code for the info call back of enum elements, recommend the use of snd_ctl_elem_info(), which will reduce lots of codes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Mandate to pass a device pointer at card creation time

2014-02-12T09:58:20+00:00

This is a part of preliminary works for modernizing the ALSA device structure. So far, we set card->dev at later point after the object creation. Because of this, the core layer doesn't always know which device is being handled before it's actually registered, and it makes impossible to show the device in error messages, for example. The first goal is to achieve a proper struct device initialization at the very beginning of probing. As a first step, this patch introduces snd_card_new() function (yes there was the same named function in the very past), in order to receive the parent device pointer from the very beginning. snd_card_create() is marked as deprecated. At this point, there is no functional change other than that. The actual change of the device creation scheme will follow later. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Make snd_BUG_ON() always evaluate and return the conditional expression

2013-03-11T08:33:34+00:00

Having snd_BUG_ON() only evaluate its conditional when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is set leads to frequent bugs, since other similar macros in the kernel have different behavior. Let's make snd_BUG_ON() act like those macros so it will stop being accidentally misused. Signed-off-by: Christine Spang Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

ALSA: Fix wrong description about hw constraints

2013-02-05T11:24:22+00:00

The definitions of hw constraint functions are wrongly placed, and the description about the function is also wrong. hw_rule_channels_by_format actually refines the channels depending on the format, not vice versa. Reported-by: Peter Ujfalusi Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
