The first patch implements McBSP sidetone feature on OMAP3 while the second
one provides ALSA interface for using it.

The patch set is based on the patch Eduardo Valentin sent to alsa-devel
mailing list in October 2009. Channel gain control and enabling the sidetone
have been moved to ALSA interface as suggested in comments.

These patches apply on top of Janusz Krzysztofik's McBSP register cache
patches in linux-omap-2.6.git

Since the version 3, the buggy channel gain control has been fixed. ASoC part
have been simplified resulting in removing a couple unnecessary functions.
Added a comment to ASoC part explaining McBSP port number vs. index values
used in OMAP McBSP implementation.

I still have two concern:

1. port number vs. index difference inside driver code is not enough

It's just confusing if a machine driver and internal API (mcbsp.c) has
to use different indexing. See:

omap_mcbsp_st_add_controls(codec, 2);
...
*(unsigned int *)omap3beagle_dai.cpu_dai->private_data = 1; /* McBSP2 */

and mcbsp->id use in mcbsp.c.

Ah, that's what you meant by it. Sure, I'll change it.

2. I cannot change the sidetone level with alsamixer

I think with the previous patch set, it was impossible to set the other channel's gain as Peter pointed out. But at least now that I try, i can change it with alsamixer.

Is this bug with the alsamixer? With amixer I'm able to set positive
values but not negative

amixer set -D hw:0 'McBSP2 Sidetone Channel 0' 32767

If you try to give negative values, you need to put '--' before the value.

Such as:

# amixer -Dhw:0 -- sset 'McBSP3 Sidetone Channel 0' -10000
Simple mixer control 'McBSP3 Sidetone Channel 0',0
  Capabilities: volume volume-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: -32768 - 32767
  Mono: -10000 [35%]


What I'm looking here, is that I can execute a test below with unit
impulse response tap filter, hear the sound and note that the volume is
changing as I'm changing the sidetone volume :-)

arecord -f dat >/dev/null |aplay -f dat /dev/zero

As Peter said in the other mail, you need to have the taps also.

Cheers, Ilkka
