The following things were in the recent mail of mine:
- All ioctl(2)s go to see the secondary buffer(if I have forget nothing).
- chn_setblocksize() changes the size of the secondary buffer.
- chn_mmap() maps the secondary buffer.
- chn_poll() invokes DMA.
- chn_wrintr() performs DMA emulation for pcm devices with no DMA
functionality(requested by nyan).
- SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT handles the count correctly.
- GETI/OSPACE returns the number of fragments.
- DMA transfer keeps running upon underrun. Some DSPs seem to end up
with an unpredictable result if the DMA gets stopped followed by
immediate restart. This revokes the change in sys/dev/sound/pcm/channel.c
rev 1.12.
- chn_write() and chn_read() returns EAGAIN for nonblocking if there
are no space to write or data to read.
You can add something like:
printf("chn_write: writing %d bytes, bs->fl = %d, bs->rl = %d, b->fl = %d, b->rl = %d, b->dl = %d\n", buf->uio_resid, bs->fl, bs->rl, b->fl, b->rl, b->dl);
to see the state of the buffers, especially before and after
triggering DMA transfer(around chn_{wr,rd}intr()) or feeding(around
chn_{wr,rd}feed()). A positive value of b->dl shows that DMA transfer
is taking place.
