Commit Message

Jaroslav Kysela May 7, 2024, 1:30 p.m. UTC
Until the commit e11f0f90a626 ("ALSA: pcm: remove SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL1_INFO
internal command"), there was a possibility to pass information
about the synchronized streams to the user space. The mentioned
commit removed blindly the appropriate code with an irrelevant comment.

The revert may be appropriate, but since this API was lost for several
years without any complains, it's time to improve it. The hardware
parameters may change the used stream clock source (e.g. USB hardware)
so move this synchronization ID to hw_params as read-only field.

It seems that pipewire can benefit from this API (disable adaptive
resampling for perfectly synchronized PCM streams) now.

It can bring FTBFS for any userspace application which uses the
structure. If getting rid of such public structure, we should have the
term to deprecate it for a while.

This kind of usage of C inline qualifier is not useless, since the modern
compilers can optimize it into the local code.

Furthermore, it does not work as expected in the case that any of driver sets
zeros to char[16] intentionally for its own purpose at PCM .open callback.

I think it is a kind of 'Separation of mechanism and policy' argument,
and a kind of designs which should be avoided.

I'm sorry if I overlooked your reply to my point, however the above is
not equivalent.

A good point.  We can keep the union definition there but add a
comment that it's deprecated and not actually used in any code.

The question is, if someone is using this directly (outside alsa-lib) when the 
implementation was vanished for several years.

Anyway, I'll add __attribute__((deprecated)) to this structure in respin.

Thanks for the review.

Marked with __attribute__((deprecated)) in v5.

Removed get_unaligned() calls. Using standard C code because this code is 
removed in the second patch.

The second patch resolves this.

It does not matter. The ID should not be used for a direct comparison. The ID 
must be only unique for the system and applications should compare those IDs 
between PCM streams (including multiple sound cards). If equal - the source 
clock source is equal. I tried to explain this in the commit message in v5.
