The interface between these is the audio_hw_if structure. .Bd -literal struct audio_hw_if { int (*open)__P((void *, int)); void (*close)__P((void *)); int (*drain)__P((void *)); int (*query_encoding)__P((void *, struct audio_encoding *)); int (*set_params)__P((void *, int, int, struct audio_params *, struct audio_params *)); int (*round_blocksize)__P((void *, int)); int (*set_out_port)__P((void *, int)); int (*get_out_port)__P((void *)); int (*set_in_port)__P((void *, int)); int (*get_in_port)__P((void *)); int (*commit_settings)__P((void *)); int (*init_output)__P((void *, void *, int)); int (*init_input)__P((void *, void *, int)); int (*start_output)__P((void *, void *, int, void (*)(void *), void *)); int (*start_input)__P((void *, void *, int, void (*)(void *), void *)); int (*halt_output)__P((void *)); int (*halt_input)__P((void *)); int (*cont_output)__P((void *)); int (*cont_input)__P((void *)); int (*speaker_ctl)__P((void *, int)); #define SPKR_ON 1 #define SPKR_OFF 0 int (*getdev)__P((void *, struct audio_device *)); int (*setfd)__P((void *, int)); int (*set_port)__P((void *, mixer_ctrl_t *)); int (*get_port)__P((void *, mixer_ctrl_t *)); int (*query_devinfo)__P((void *, mixer_devinfo_t *)); void *(*alloc)__P((void *, unsigned long, int, int)); void (*free)__P((void *, void *, int)); unsigned long (*round_buffersize)__P((void *, unsigned long)); int (*mappage)__P((void *, void *, int, int)); int (*get_props)__P((void *)); /* device properties */ }; struct audio_params { u_long sample_rate; /* sample rate */ u_int encoding; /* e.g. ulaw, linear, etc */ u_int precision; /* bits/sample */ u_int channels; /* mono(1), stereo(2) */ /* Software en/decode functions, set if SW coding required by HW */ void (*sw_code)__P((void *, u_char *, int)); int factor; /* coding space change */ }; .Ed The high level audio driver attaches to the low level driver when the latter calls .Va audio_attach_mi . This call should be .Bd -literal void audio_attach_mi(ahwp, mhwp, hdl, dev) struct audio_hw_if *ahwp; struct midi_hw_if *mhwp; void *hdl; struct device *dev; .Ed The .Va audio_hw_if struct is as shown above and the .Va midi_hw_if is unused (at the moment). The .Va hdl argument is a handle to some low level data structure. It is sent as the first argument to all the functions in .Va audio_hw_if when the high level driver calls them. .Pp The fields of .Va audio_hw_if are described in some more detail below. Some fields are optional; and can be set to 0 if not needed. .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It Dv int open(void *hdl, int flags) is called when the audio device is opened. It should initialize the hardware for I/O. Every successful call to .Va open is matched by a call to .Va close . Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv void close(void *hdl) is called when the audio device is closed. .It Dv int drain(void *hdl) optional, is called before the device is closed or when .Dv AUDIO_DRAIN is called. It should make sure that no samples remain in to be played that can be lost when .Va close is called. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int query_encoding(void *hdl, struct audio_encoding *ae) is used when .Dv AUDIO_GETENC is called. It should fill the audio_encoding structure and return 0 or return EINVAL if there is no encoding with the given number. .It Dv int set_params(void *hdl, int setmode, int usemode, struct audio_params *play, struct audio_params *rec) .br Called to set the audio encoding mode. .Va setmode is a combination of the .Dv AUMODE_RECORD and .Dv AUMODE_PLAY flags to indicate which mode(s) are to be set. .Va usemode is also a combination of these flags, but indicates the current mode of the device (i.e. the value of .Va mode in the .Va audio_info struct). The .Va play and .Va rec structures contain the encoding parameters that should be set. If the hardware requires software assistance with some encoding (e.g., it might be lacking mulaw support) it should fill the .Va sw_code and .Va factor fields of these structures. The values of the structures may also be modified if the hardware cannot be set to exactly the requested mode (e.g. if the requested sampling rate is not supported, but one close enough is). If the device does not have the .Dv AUDIO_PROP_INDEPENDENT property the same value is passed in both .Va play and .Va rec and the encoding parameters from .Va play is copied into .Va rec after the call to .Va set_params . Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int round_blocksize(void *hdl, int bs) optional, called with the block size, .Va bs , that has been computed by the upper layer. It should return a block size, possibly changed according to the needs of the hardware driver. .It Dv int set_out_port(void *hdl, int port) called if the play .Va port is set in an .Dv AUDIO_SETINFO .Xr ioctl 2 . Calling this is a shortcut to changing some setting in the mixer device. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int get_out_port(void *hdl) called to fill the play .Va port for an .Dv AUDIO_GETINFO .Xr ioctl 2 . Calling this is a shortcut to getting some setting in the mixer device. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int set_in_port(void *hdl, int port) called if the record .Va port is set in an .Dv AUDIO_SETINFO .Xr ioctl 2 . Calling this is a shortcut to changing some setting in the mixer device. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int get_in_port(void *hdl) called to fill the record .Va port for an .Dv AUDIO_GETINFO .Xr ioctl 2 . Calling this is a shortcut to getting some setting in the mixer device. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int commit_settings(void *hdl) optional, called after all calls to .Va set_params , .Va set_out_port , .Va set_in_port , .Va set_port , etc. are done. A hardware driver that needs to get the hardware in and out of command mode for each change can save all the changes during previous calls and do them all here. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int init_output(void *hdl, void *buffer, int size) optional, called before any output starts, but when the total .Va size of the output .Va buffer has been determined. It can be used to initialize looping DMA for hardware that needs that. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int init_input(void *hdl, void *buffer, int size) optional, called before any input starts, but when the total .Va size of the input .Va buffer has been determined. It can be used to initialize looping DMA for hardware that needs that. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int start_output(void *hdl, void *block, int bsize, void (*intr)(void*), void *intrarg) .br called to start the transfer of .Va bsize bytes from .Va block to the audio hardware. The call should return when the data transfer has been initiated (normally with DMA). When the hardware is ready to accept more samples the function .Va intr should be called with the argument .Va intrarg . Calling .Va intr will normally initiate another call to .Va start_output . Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int start_input(void *hdl, void *block, int bsize, void (*intr)(void*), void *intrarg) .br called to start the transfer of .Va bsize bytes to .Va block from the audio hardware. The call should return when the data transfer has been initiated (normally with DMA). When the hardware is ready to deliver more samples the function .Va intr should be called with the argument .Va intrarg . Calling .Va intr will normally initiate another call to .Va start_input. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int halt_output(void *hdl) called to abort the output transfer (started by .Va start_output ) in progress. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int halt_input(void *hdl) called to abort the input transfer (started by .Va start_input ) in progress. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int cont_output(void *hdl) unused. .It Dv int cont_input(void *hdl) unused. .It Dv int speaker_ctl(void *hdl, int on) optional, called when a half duplex device changes between playing and recording. It can, e.g., be used to turn on and off the speaker. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int getdev(void *hdl, struct audio_device *ret) Should fill the .Va audio_device struct with relevant information about the driver. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int setfd(void *hdl, int fd) optional, called when .Dv AUDIO_SETFD is used, but only if the device has AUDIO_PROP_FULLDUPLEX set. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int set_port(void *hdl, mixer_ctl_t *mc) called in when .Dv AUDIO_MIXER_WRITE is used. It should take data from the .Va di struct at set the corresponding mixer values. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int get_port(void *hdl, mixer_ctl_t *mc) called in when .Dv AUDIO_MIXER_READ is used. It should fill the .Va di struct. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv int query_devinfo(void *hdl, mixer_devinfo_t *di) called in when .Dv AUDIO_MIXER_DEVINFO is used. It should fill the .Va di struct. Return 0 on success, otherwise an error code. .It Dv void *alloc(void *hdl, u_long size, int type, int flags) .br optional, called to allocate the device buffers. If not present .Xr malloc 9 is used instead (with the same arguments except the first). The reason for using a device dependent routine instead of .Xr malloc 9 is that some buses need special allocation to do DMA. Returns the address of the buffer, or 0 on failure. .It Dv void free(void *hdl, void *addr, int type) optional, called to free memory allocated by .Va alloc . If not supplied .Xr free 9 is used. .It Dv u_long round_buffer(void *hdl, u_long bufsize) optional, called at startup to determine the audio buffer size. The upper layer supplies the suggested size in .Va bufsize , which the hardware driver can then change if needed. E.g., DMA on the ISA bus cannot exceed 65536 bytes. .It Dv int mappage(void *hdl, void *addr, int offs, int prot) .br optional, called for .Xr mmap 2 . Should return the map value for the page at offset .Va offs from address .Va addr mapped with protection .Va prot . Returns -1 on failure, or a machine dependent opaque value on success. .It Dv int get_props(void *hdl) Should return the device properties; i.e. a combination of AUDIO_PROP_xxx. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr audio 4
