We play mono samples on all 4 channels.
However, we get the volume settings for mono samples as a symmetic two-channel
setting... the other two channels used to stay at max volume...
I believe that something else is wrong here, but dont want to change MI
code (which in turn influences a couple of MD driver) thus late in the release
cycle.
The changes is to allow some limited mixer manipulation through
the audio device (instead of the mixer device).
This rendered 4 methods in audio_hw_if unused so garbage collect these.
at the same time instead by using two different calls. This enables
it to check more easily if the combined mode is all right.
- Improve the error checking in audio.c.
- Add a new audio property, AUDIO_PROP_INDEPENDENT, show if the
play and record settings are independent.
- Fix some buglets in audio.c.
- Change the way attach and open works to allow multiple audio
devices.
- Split the mulaw.c file into two to avoid dragging in mulaw
convertsion when they are not needed. Add 16 bit alaw/mulaw tables.
- Change the way audio properties are gotten.
- Recognize more versions os SoundBlaster.
renamed AUDIO_ENCODING_SLINEAR and AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR reverts to the
NetBSD 1.2 sematics. A kernel with COMPAT_12 defined will accept
AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR and treat it as before, without COMPAT_12 it
will be rejected.
(thesing@cs.uni-sb.de), heavily hacked upon by me to
- make it work with -current audio system
- make it shut off Amiga audio DMA only at appropriate places.
XXX A couple of bugs still remain, which well be handled later.
XXX Among them: only mono output; doesn't refuse to handle input, but chokes;
will not play last millichunk (is this 20 ms?) of data.
