Re: ALSA: dice: improve support for Weiss devices

Hi Takashi,

Glad that we could be of help.
We checked this on the firmware side and yes, we can confirm that the
Weiss MAN301 is the only device with AV/C protocol (using vendor dependent
commands).

We are deploying a small set of commands in order to probe and control
the parameters on the MAN301:

WEISS_CMD_ID_DEV_CONST:
	probe the number of parameters

WEISS_CMD_ID_PARAM_OP:
	read/write to a parameter

WEISS_CMD_ID_PARAM_INFO:
	read parameter info (index, type, iface type, name)

WEISS_CMD_ID_ENUM_ITEM_INFO:
	read parameter enum type info

This allows us to populate and control snd-control instances that represent
the device's featured parameters [1].

How would you like to proceed for `snd-firewire-ctl-services`?
We can start by giving you the output of `amixer contents` for the MAN301,
so you see all the controls and their possible values (see below).

Let us know if there's any additional information we can provide.

Kind regards,
Rolf Anderegg

Hi Michele,

Thanks for your contribution of configuration ROM for Weiss models[1].
I'm sorry for my little reaction but currently I'm working for Debian ITP
to linux-firewire-utils package[2][3].

As a quick glance, all of configuration ROMs except for Weiss MAN301
include single unit directory, while the exception includes two unit
directories; 1394TA AV/C protocol and TCAT protocol. It means that
the vendor-dependent AV/C command[4] is implemented in MAN301, but not
in the others. Then I would like to figure out whether it is correct or
not. If it is unique for MAN301, the implementation of control service
can be simpler to support the command just for MAN301.
