Commit Message

Jaroslav Kysela May 6, 2024, 3:11 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.

For the sound card indexed by 0, it is problematic, since in the later
change, the first element of array has 0.

As long as I checked, the above change are safe for
backward-compatibility and compat ioctl. They keep the same size of
structure and the same offset of member in each of i386/ILP32/LP64 data
models,

The serialization would not keep the same data before the change, since
the third, fourth, and fifth elements are 0x31, 0x36, and 0x56, instead
of 0x10, 0x56, and 0x00.

Oops. It was a thinko. I replaced this with a full zero comparison in v3 of 
this patch.

Thank you for this verification and review.

It does not matter. See the extended comment for snd_pcm_set_sync_per_card in 
v3. The ID should be used only for a comparison among PCM devices without any 
interpretation.

				Thank you,
