Unfortunately, this dma op mode also couples with the usage of mcbsp internal buffer. Which in the very end will mean a compromise between delay vs. pm, as you are probably aware. So, letting userspace to toggle this mode will also mean they can choose between pm friendly (op mode with frame and so on) or short delay friendly (element mode). Of course, this might not be the best way of choosing it though. > > Tony, can I get your ack to upstream via ALSA if it's ok > > Thanks > > Liam > > arch/arm/plat-omap/include/plat/mcbsp.h | 17 +++ > arch/arm/plat-omap/mcbsp.c | 183 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- > sound/soc/omap/omap-mcbsp.c | 22 ++++- > sound/soc/omap/omap-mcbsp.h | 2 + > 4 files changed, 194 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
