Hello, Changes since the RFC round on the alsa-devel list: - core is not limiting the query for the delay to the playback stream. It is no the dai and platform driver's responsibility handle that - delay interface added for platform driver - Capture path delay calculation is added to OMAP McBSP. - omap_mcbsp_get_tx_buffstat renamed as omap_mcbsp_get_tx_delay to reflect what it is actually doing. Tony: is it still possible to get this taken for 2.6.34? It would be nice to avoid cross tree problems during the 34 cycle... The initial RFC patch description: There has been discussion in alsa-devel in this subject several times, but no actual patches has been sent (it was not soc related, but anyway it was discussed). Based on the available information the latency caused by the HW buffer on some systems can be handled by updating the runtime->delay. It has been discussed, that the runtime->delay can also be updated dynamically to show more accurate delay. To further complicate things, in ASoC we could have more buffer in the chain. To handle this we need soc level support. This series tries to do that in soc by: - introducing a pcm_pointer wrapper - in this wrapper we call the original pcm_pointer functions to get the DMA pointer - introducing a new interface in dai_ops and for platfrom drivers to ask the delay - adding the cpu_dai, codec_dai and platform driver returned delay to form the actual delay - update the runtime->delay with this value. With this approach none of the existing drivers need change, but they can add support for specifying the FIFO caused delay. In this series on top of the core changes the omap(3) code is updated to take this delay reporting into use. I have not added the support to the tlv320dac33 codec driver, since it needs a bit more work, but along the same line it can be done, and if the tlv320dac33 is hooked to omap McBSP than applications can know the whole delay/latency on that path. The series is based on linux-omap master branch (with regcache and sidetone). However the first 3 patch for soc core applies on top of sound-2.6 topic/asoc cleanly as well. Obviously the last patch depends on the OMAP platform patch. --- Peter Ujfalusi (5): ASoC: core: fix tailing whitespace in soc_pcm_apply_symmetry ASoC: core: soc level wrapper for pcm_pointer callback ASoC: core: Add delay operation to snd_soc_dai_ops OMAP3: McBSP: Add interface for FIFO caused delay query ASoC: OMAP3: Report delay caused by the internal FIFO arch/arm/plat-omap/include/plat/mcbsp.h | 6 +++ arch/arm/plat-omap/mcbsp.c | 55 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/sound/soc-dai.h | 6 +++ include/sound/soc.h | 7 ++++ sound/soc/omap/omap-mcbsp.c | 26 ++++++++++++++ sound/soc/soc-core.c | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++- 6 files changed, 137 insertions(+), 2 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
